SCHOOL’S
OUT'.'. I'. ( ALi.OoT )
Well, hay i*s £L nally here, and aa other
school year has passed .
into history. Just how
long, you say,-is a
school year? The scho^t.
year is made up of sov\
many months, each with
many weeks of five days v-'
each, and its length IS
ought to 'be easily calculated* Buti j
measurement by calendar and clock
is somewhat unsatisfactory. Sometijtes? m
; the big hand gallops and the lit tip;
j hand trcts;at other times, both seem to
| rest motionless as a wary old grayling
! hiding in the cool watery depths.
The factor of variation, as the scientist^
would say, is in the human mind. The length j
of an-hour or a day depends upon how that
time is spent. A day of idleness lags like
a week, and a busy week goes by lile a day. |
So the length of the school year now drawing j
to a close depended, on the use made of its
time. Did it seem ’’like an age", or has it
flown so quickly that it is hard to believe
May is here??
