E'er attend the winds' career.

Lillian Cox.


"Whichever way the wind doth blow.
Some heart is glad to have it so;
And blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best."

_Write_ all that you can tell about the wind.

What was the direction of the wind during the last snow-storm? Why is
the north wind cold? Why is the south wind warm?




LESSON VII.

HOW TO TELL DISTANCE.

To tell where a place is, we must know its direction. But this is not
all; we must also know how far it is from us; that is; its _distance_.
To find this out we measure.

You have often heard of an _inch_, a _foot_, and a _yard_. This line is
one inch long |--------|. Your ruler is twelve inches long, that is a
foot. Three lengths of your ruler make a yard. A yard stick is three
feet long.
