You aren't strong enough yet to be

ESSAYS IN FALLACY. BY Andrew

~vHE fallacies of education, of
theology, of the American
woman and of the suffragette
are gathered into the substance
of this group OF essays. The
mistakes of aim and accomplishment
marking the first two of these institutions
have been so frequently and so thorough
" aired that the author succeeds in
bringing no new count OF error against
them. What he does do, however, is to
hold their familiar utilities up in new
light. and in a new way-sort of at arm 8
length and by the tail. as it were. The
essay on the American woman goes into
the proof that this phenomenon is not
a creature confined to America nor to
the time limit of American history, but
that. instead, she is. like Gilbert Hub
bard's little town of East Aurora. simply
a condition of the mind" likely to be

known as the American woman, the

ly 100000 trees planted along the streets,
or over 800 miles of trees. This figure
represents the streets as having trees on
both sides, SO that taking them in one
continuous line they would mea sure over
LOCO miles. These trees and some or the
smaller reservations come under the d.
rection of the municipal government.

ANY park containing statue must be
long to the United States government, and
it is for that reason that the majority of
parks come under Col. Cosby instead Of
the division of trees and parkinss, The
superintendent of this division is True
man Lanham. The force required 10 keep
up this portion of the work is about 1O0
the greater number being laborers.i This
work, however. does not require the large
amount of money which the other does
the money expended by this division
amounting TO approximately $JO,pp an
nually including salaries of theB office
force.
The principal work of the Office is plant
ing new trees. taking up dead and dam
aged ones, pruning and clipping them and
keeping off insects. lti3
The parkings which come under the SUI
pervision of this Office are all small, being
for the most part those grass plots formed
by the intersection of two or more streets.
The trees coming under this division are
carefully watched. An index in which il
set down the number, variety, etc. OF
each street containing trees is kept. and a.
reference TO this will tell practically all
that is desired about any OF the trees. In
addition to this the Office has large coli
lection of photographs, showing the most
beautiful of the streets shaded by trees,
which are highly priced.
