Miss •Ethel Chapman, L. L. D. ,
editor of Horne and Country, has
the following to say about the
recently published book of poetry
`o€ Miss Dean MacLeod. of Lucknow
"Most of us have a;favorite
book that we like to pick up in
leisure moments when wewant
to relax and enjoy a bit of color
or amusement orperhapsof in-
spiration. "Home and Country
Gleanings" by Dean MacLeod is
such a book. Miss MacLeod writ-,'
es of homely things -- "Evening •
Chores" 'Berry picking", "Bring-
ing Home the cows";' of comrne-.
unity affairs such .as the passing.
"of the one -room school, a church.
reunion, a ploughing match,: the
local.cemeteryof Nature: -
Indian
Indian Summer, the "Coming of
Night". • Several" of the poems;
have their origin in the doings
of the Women's Institute.
Miss MacLeod.writes.with.
warmth and humor and a sym-
pathetic human understanding_.
The dedicated teacher's con-
cern for youth is evident in many.
of`her poems. And since the
book was published as a 'tentenn-.
ial project, it is fitting that
many of the poems give us pict-
ures from our country, life history
over th,e, past hundred years. The
verses.on "The Log House Speaks'
especially, give us something
to think about as we approach
our centennial year." '
The book is available'from.the
Kairshea W. I. or at the Lucknow
Sentinel with the price $1, include
an extra 100 formail orders.
