MAKING A COUNTRY SCHOOL
HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

Setting school-house in a dense
woods is worse than having one in
an open field without trees, for the
health Of the pupils is promoted by
having the sunshine on the house
at times. But a house standing on a
bare lot, without even grass around
1t, and often an implanted. barn-like
structure, is simply hideous. But
where there is some attempt at plant
| ing 1t is generally in the nature of
making grove over the whole lot,
and this, too, is wrong, for it pre-
vents the growth OF grass or the plant
ing OF fower-beds and shrubbery.
Trees of large size should be used
mainly on the outskirts to frame in
picture Of a pretty lawn and some
fiower-beds. Make a wide border
around the building and plant 1t with
variety Of lowering shrubbery that
will bloom at different times in the
season. Have walk eurying from
one side Of the lot past the door and
out at the other eide so that there
can be a broad scope Of grass in
the center. Around the outskirts
plant a variety Of trees and give them
room to take their natural forms;
making with them broad, irregular
border to the lot. and not planting
them in straight rows like an orchard.
Make these trees largely evergreen,
for the school Is held mainly in
winter but still have some deciduous
ones for their spring beauty. Then
do not trim up the coniferous ever
greens or the magnolias with an ugly
stem, but let them branch from the
ground In natural form.
Keep playground in rear and screen
out the rear buildings of convenience
with lattice and vines. On the outer
edges Of the shrubbery border around
the house. which screens the base
OF the building. you can have fall.
planted bulbs, such as hyacinths and
tulips and narcissus, and follow these

the children interested in making the
front of the lot beautiful and they
will not damage It. Lawn mowers are
very cheap now, and the lawn should
be regularly mOwn and the grass
top-dressed with fertilizer to
promote the growth of the grass.
Now is the time for planting the
leciduous trees and shrubbery, but
spring will be better for the ever
green's.
Then, where the long.leaf pine
grows 90 into the woods and with

Peary Greatest Of, All,

DR.. Cook beat Lieut.. Psary to the
pole, but no single achievement OF
rival can dim the glory Of the man who
has added more TO the worlds knowi-
edge of the frozen northland than all
Others combined, Since 1886, the in.
trepid adventurer has .made.soyage NJ
ter voyage to thu arctic circle and the
available maps Of the "top OF the
world" as>it is called are made, almost
entirely from data furnished by him.
He made the first .reconp aissance OF
Greenland g famous inland ice cap, in
1886, and from that time. dates all our
k now ledge Of that great natural wonder.
He reached the northeast limits Of
Greenland in 1892, then the fartheet
point north reached by man. On this
trip he discovered aud named Melville
Land and Heilprin land and gave the
world its first definite knowledge that
Greenland is an island, pure and simple.
and mt continent stretching hey ond
the pole.
In 1891 he discovered and told the
worldpf hitherto unknown tribe of
Arctic hiRhlanders. In the same year
be discovered the famous ironr noun
tains, and reached north latitude 81 de-
grees 6 minutes, 203 miles from the
pole. .'e
In 1896 and 1897 he made summer
voyages bringing the Cape York meteor
rights to the United States, and discov.
cred and named Cape Jessup, the north
ern, most land on the face of the earth.
He has contributed volumes of exact
scientific data concerning the country
just south OF the pole. 81 ts .lf.-n.
Now he has found the pole itself and
his achievement is none the less glorious
because another explorer accomplished
it year sooner. DR.. Cook first foune
the pole and deserves endless credit
but Lieut.. Peary's is glory that will
not fade. ..s.
