Arbor Day was observed at the
school houses last week by the plant
ing of trees and shrubs. The little
ones in the South side primary room
made violet bed, on the North side
nearly 100 rose bushes were aplanted,
also many trees at both school hous-
es. We hope the school board will
have the yards watered and cared for
during the summer, SO that the loving
work of the children may be preserv-
ed, and encouragement given to the
care and beautifying of the grounds.
Do parents ever stop to think how
many years of the childrens lives are
spent III the school house? The influ-
ence for good upon their lives by
beautiful school environment is as far
reaching as the work in the classes.
When our ethical natures are more
highly developed we will not permit
our children to be in the unhealthy
atmosphere Of barren school rooms
and uncarcd for grounds.

Taking n wnyward Sparrow Home.

| One often hears remarkable stories
about the intelligence of sparrows,
but we are apt to think that such tales
must be taken with grain of salt.
J The following incident, however, is
I vouched for by no less than five resi-
dents of Chicago, who saw the whole
performance. Late one afternoon a
half-hedged sparrow dropped from a
tree to the roof of shed. 1t no sooner
landed than it began to croak as il it
had lost its last friend. Pretty soon
fifteen or twenty excited sparrows
futtered around the little one and
seemed to be giving il some important
advice. Evidently impressed, the
young bird would straighten up on its
slender legs and stretch out its neck.
But invariably it would settle back in
to forlorn heap aud take mp its
mournful cry where it had left Off
The old sparrows grew more and more
excited, and finally male and fema e
futtered down beside the little one,
one on each side. After moments s
parley the female seized one of the
youngling's wings in its bill; then the
male grasped the other wing after the
same manner. There was chorus of
shrieks from the other birds, n futter-
ing of the queer little group on the
roof, and then the two devoted birds
flew away, carrying the little one 10y
