Teacher, If you have never tried flowers In, and arourd the school room before, try it this yecr, and see If the life and energy of each child is not stimulated by a single plant or flower. These things can be kept all sinter. Let each child bring One from home, or arrange to get a plant for each, and get the chlldrei.. Interested In coming to school. See how your average at tendance compares with that of previous yei>rs when no effort was Bade to Improve and beautify the for this year be: Health, r.^atn-as comfort, order, and beauty in the schoolroom.” We ask, will it not pay to form In your community an association which mskes for these things?
