notes covering two octaves. She sings
synchronously with her own instructor, the
only difference between her voice and a
normal one being in the resonance. Miss
Keller is looking forward to the time of her
entrance into college. At the Christmas
entertainment of the school, she recited the
principal portions of "The Courtship of
Miles Blandish. "Ex.
My little sister with her eyes ofbrown,
And checks with rosy glow of childhood lit;
Lives all unknowing of the worldly town,
Back on the farm, and I am glad of it.
The violets her child-companions are,
And only modest friends, that chirp and flit
Among the forest boughs, make music, far
And near, for her, and I am glad of it.
The world's wild vagaries that skyward piled,
Build Vanity's high mount, arc all unlit
To her brown eyes; she's but a nature's child,
Back on the farm and I am glad of it.
