there seem to be some small things not listed

after 12 The Reporter by Ivan Turgenyeff

there is a wonderful "if they couldn't grow flowers"

does it get read with 12 or the one after? I'd like to read it if I may

and also does "life's gifts" get read with section 5 or with section 6

Thank you so much for this. I did not look through the whole magazine when I set it up. I will change the MW. Your request for assignment will be entered after that.

The template didn't specify "section" or "chapter," so I selected "section" for the intro and outro.
