spring and was hoped had vanished with summers fresh air and merry forget- fulness jhe difference is of course partly a question of mere physcial endurance but it is still more a question of mental attitude there is an old saying tbm4giri studies to please her teacher and that a boy when he does study studies to please himself it is true at any rate that girls are more conscientious in their
