Prof. Beal, professor of forestry In the
College, spent Tuesday in the
city looking over the different school
grounds and consulting with the superin.
tendent and the members of the school
board as 20 the methods of improving and
the grounds with characteristic
trees and shrubs native to the state. No
definite action has been taken by the board
In the matter yet, but 1t Is to be hoped that
the board may see Its way to carry out
some of the suggestions Of the professor
which could be done at small cost and
would be money well invested from the
added beauty 1t would give to the whole
city, besides all consideration of the educa
tiOnal value it would have.
Schools of instruction for domestics and
others may yet be necessary in Owosso in
spite Of the fact that the city has enjoyed
the use Of many of the characteristic inven-
ions along the lines of civic service for
years. AT any rate 1t seems that there is
still a woeful ignorance In some minds
when domestic will attempt to mail
etter In fire alarm box and by so doing |
will bring two wagon loads of men and fire |
lighting apparatus to the spot to see that the
letter is properly mailed. Yesterday morn.
ing was probably the first time Mrs. Sails
burys domestic mailed q letter for her |
In fire alarm box, but it's also |
probable that next time she will be so far |
advanced In the art of mailing letters that |
she can pat 1t In letter box and avoid call |
ing out the fire department.
A very pleasant surprise was given Rev.
and Mrs. G. V. Northrop and daughters |
