TREES FOR SCHOOL GROUNDS
SHELTER BELT FIRST THING
Address Beach Sup l. R. waon Tells Directors and Teachers
How Make Rural School Grounds More Attractive Cumps Of
Shrubs and Corner for Vegetables Should Have
Place School Property.

With this subject will commence at
the beginning, though in most cases
the school houses are already built.
However. more school houses will be
built in the future in this state and for
such my remarks may not come in
amiss. In the first place. word as to
the kind of school house from the stand
point of architecture.
The country school houses in this
state and in fact. in most states are
plain and severe almost to the last ex-
treme. It is really rare exception to
find the school house built with any
apparent thought to beauty. In any
schemes of beautifying the school
premises the central and objective
point is the school house. Therefore
it requires no argument to show that
we cannot secure the desired results if
we have to work with plain and ugly
building as the center piece. It may
cost a little more to build a school house
having some regard for beauty, but in
many cases l am sure this element has
never entered the heads of those who
had to do with the building. In many
cases, if a neat and tasty building
could have been put up at the same
price, in place of the ugly one that was
put up, it is pretty safe to assume that
the ugly one would have been erected.
The school house to be beautiful need
not be covered with dinky things. Il
can be plain and dignified and have
elements of beauty. With the aid ol
some one who has knowledge and ex.
pefience. the appearance of the school
house can be increased a hundred fold.
With this increase. attention should
also be paid to light sanitation, ven.
tilation and other details that are now
often neglected.
Many Of the school houses in 1Ail
state are placed on hifls and this to my
mind is mistake. They should be OF
the south slope or even on the edge ol
la draw, provided that the snow does no.
drift in heavily. The school yart
should he located On fertile area. Tht
sterile soil could be purchased more
cheaply but such a cheap purchase il
dear one. The school house should
have an eastern or southern frontage.
I have seen many school houses in thu
state fronting west or north when sucf
frontage was quite unnecessary.

for today?"
"Yes. thank you, that is all. Good
bye"
She hung up the receiver.
That night at the supper table it
was clearly evident that Gertrude was
elated about something. But. she
wouldn't say anything concerning her
conversation with the fairy, for she
wanted to surprise her mamma when
the candy came.
When she went to bed, Gertrude
dreamed of gum-drops so plentiful
that they had to be stored in the
barn. And sticks of licorice danced
and gamboled about grotesquely
Twas with much anticipation that
Gertrude jumped out of bed next
morning and she wouldn't have been
bit surprised to see the room filed
with candy But it wasn't.
"It must be going to come by mall"
she concluded.
So she waited eagerly for the post
man, and when she heard his whistle
her heart thumped with intense lex-
citement.
Sure enough, she was not disap-
pointed; in fact, she had the surprise
of her life.
The postman handed her box, but
It was SO heavy she had to put it on
the floor.
"Oh. goody. goody. goody!" she
cried in rapture and clapped her
hands. 1T has come, it has come!
90 o-o-h!" sesF
What has come, dear?" asked her
mamma, who had come to get the
mail
"Oh, my candy. My candy that
came from good old Mr.. Fairy" She
danced about the package in glee.
Albert, hearing the commotion,
came in to see what was up. He
found his mamma and sister bending
over a huge package covered with
parcel post stamps.
When the cover was off, Gertrude's
eyes sparkled with surprise, for there
were chocolates, gum-drops. all-day
suckers. red-hots and licorice galore!
What mattered If there were not quite
a thousand million of each? 1t was
so much. that to Gertrude a thousand
million couldn't have been much
more.
"Oh, OH, OIL" was about all Ger
trude could say as she chose big.
sugar-coated gum-drop.
Albert soon was chewing stick of
licorice. while even Mrs. Chase was
yielding to her desire for a fat,
creamy chocolate.
In the middle of the package was
a card on which were the words:
ITO Miss Gertrude Chase. from Mr..
Fairy"
Taking the stick of licorice from his
mouth, Albert blushed and said to
his sister:
"This lickrish is mighty good. /
guess there must be fairies after all. =

And so 1t went until, on the day
of the great game. the Red Lot ball
park was packed to overlooking.
Every seat in the small grandstand
was taken and the crowd, held back by
the ropes, extended clear from behind
the home-plate to beyond third base
on one side of the diamond, and, on
the other, to an even further distance
beyond first base. The excitement
was intense and the rooters for both
teams kept up an incessant racket;
indeed the contest seemed q sort of
