interruptions in the school work
until after the examinations.

The weather last week was not
all that could be desired from the
optimistic gardener’s point of
view. It was cold and raw, and
nearly all the growth of the
weeks previous was ata stand-
still, and here and there were
evidences of too much cold. Such
things as too early spuds, dah-
