But now we’ll all discover It’s the magic games and tales That makes all to love her. ROSINA MERRIT State Normal School, Mayville. North Dakota The Imported Larch There seemed to be so much to do, About the first of March, That the gods, from out the trees they knew. Imported one small larch. We welcome you with hearts most warm, And speak these words so true: “Small tree, you have so much of charm, That we'll do our best for you.” CRACE K. MCINTOSH A. B.

QJl|p (jpuiurr LIFE may unacquaint us with higher mathematics, and history associate itself only with the commercial world; but. the time will never come when we shall not find a part of life’s pleasures in literature, whether it be our own or that of other nations.

She stands as a fine type of womanhood. Should all prospective teachers catch her vision of life, there would be no necessity for lessons in morals. RUTH G. BAGLEY A. B. University of Michigan A. M. University of California O would that we always had grammar teachers like Miss Bagley! But. then we should have had no need of her practical psychology and pedagogy now.
