a 11' it * * * * * WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR . . . By Rabindranath Tagore _ Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high: . \Vhere knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into frag- ments of narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depths of truth: Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; g I \Vhere the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Vhere the mind is led forward by Thee into everâ€" widening thought and actionâ€" lnto that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. * * t i ‘k ‘k ‘k * Junior Farmers’ Association of Ontario Miss Josephine Bird of Cayuga said the Junior Farmers” Association has attained its tenth birthday.
