THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
School vacation ceremonies have something of the character of grace . , before meati For the young the holi» clay season is the veriest of laggards - • in the approach, It is the eldere whom it astonishes with its swift oncomings , and finds unready. The boys and gins, released in their thousands from the routine of pedagogic discipline, from the trial of being trained in civic consciousness, are the truly wholehearted, most to be envied, of holiday, makers. Imagination calls them -to crowded hours of glorious freedom nad adventure. The small penance of listening to prize-day orations is soon done with. Nature beckons; it is a wonderful time of the year, a wonder- , fill world, and childhood is the perennial age of discovery.
