THE NORMAL RECORD. 15 Training School Department. A PROFESSOR'S OPINION OF HIS CLASS. Cifford Geroutte. Now, this little boy, judging from his looks, Is not very good, at studying his books; And that little chap, by the color of his hair, Out of school is bad, but in here is fair; But far over in the corner, that little lad, He is not good at his studies, nor bad; Although, should you put them together as a class, According to my judgment they won't pass. Now taking a glance at the girls' side of the room, You can easily tell they are not used to a broom; ' Taking a look at the paper in the aisle, You would think that is the style; Even the wall is covered with marks, That you can almost see in the dark; Although, should you put them together as a class, According to my judgment they will pass. A TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS. Myrtle Lynn. One of the most charming places I have ever visited is Niagara Falls. My mother, brother and I, left Philadelphia one beautiful evening in September at six-thirty. After having said good bye to our relatives and friends, we entered our car, and with a sharp ring of the bell, and a shrill whistle, the train steamed out of the station. Our attention was now attracted by the scenery. We were flying with great rapidity on the elevated railroad through the great city. We soon reached the country and could see great fields of waving corn and acres upon acres of orchards. In the distance, there were great stacks of hay, and a large field of cattle peacefully grazing. We passed a number of historical houses, many of which had been built in the time of William Penn, and others during the Revolutionary period. Our train now curved into the Lehigh Valley, after passing Bethlehem, the two mountains nearly meet, and there seems only room enough for the train, canal and river to pass. We soon reached the Switzerland of America—Mauk Chunks—where houses are built one above the other on the side of the mountain. I regret to say, when we passed through the most beautiful parts of Lehigh and historical Wyoming Valleys, it was dark. From Fairview, the top of a large mountain, we could see in the twilight, the city of Wilkesbarre, which is situated under the shadow of the mountain, eighteen miles from Fairview. We arrived in Buffalo about seven o'clock in the morning and were happy to know that the famed Niagara was not very far distant. Approaching Niagara we could hear the rush and noise of the waters, while about half a mile away. At last our good train stopped. We had arrived at Niagara. We at once hired a cab and drove to a hotel, where we had breakfast. Immediately after breakfast, we secured a team of beautiful blacks and began our view of Niagara. First of all the falls attracted our attention and upon arriving, alighting from the surrey we walked as near the falls as the heavy iron rail would permit. We stood wrapped in amazement at the grand sight. Such a mighty rush of water, lashing and foaming in its haste to get over the falls. There a heavyq mist rises, and if one stands too near he will get wet. In this mist a beautiful rainbow is shining continuously. We were held in admiration and then thought how great God is. We drove to the Three Sister Islands and crossed from one to another by means of a footbridge. My brother carved our initials in a tree over-hanging the water. Next, we saw the Whirlpool Rapids rushing and foaming and whirling in great confusion. Then returned to the falls to see the Niagara River. It has a very peaceful look, but means death to anyone who attempts to swim it. The driver then drove to an incline and told us to go down as we would be able to obtain a better view of the river. We entered a car and went down. When we came back they charged us fifty cents each for the trip. The Cave of the Winds is a place of great interest. Men and women alike, dress themselves in rubber jackets and trousers for this trip. When we went down the incline, we were (Continued on Page Twenty-five.)
