afternoons after after- Yielding rich and lovely chords that move With the rolling fields of goldenrod And thyme Summer Is the poet whose songs songo Have reached perfection tested by the moods Of spring the sharp days the rush Of the floods floods the freeze and thaw thaw thaw- And then the evenness of days day that comes Again when the harvest ends And the old meadows unfold once more Their loveliness The hay is in The Tho hills hUls are smooth the smooth the great farm Slopes that only recently were rough And brown with the tall timothy ripen ripen- In ing summer Bummer Is the poet whose art Is steady And sure suro as the mild rich rain that works up Slowly from the south nourishing the meadows meadow And the parched sandy fields the maples And the pasture elms the deep pine pinewoods pinewoods pinewoods woods- woods Nourishing the heart of man For summer is the poet whose songs endure endures I Lansing Christman o o o 0 SIMPLE ULE FACTS MOST OF us confess an Ignorance of

like the teacher they wont won't I learn much It sounds reasonable but butI I It makes a teacher wonder how to have all the pupils like him or her A teacher who is too lenient doesn't necessarily have the class on his side The one who requires students to obey to study and meet certain scholastic requirements gets the most respect and cooperation Too often a teacher will favor the bright i children of the class leaving the slow ones to grope for themselves This Is wrong and causes resentment The quick pupils will get it for themselves the f I dull one ones one's need the help and attention j for
