TREES IN SCHOOL GROUNDS
or Material Value In Prosecution OF
Studies, as Well as Pleasing
to the Ego.

In the grounds of every school there
should be collection of both trult
and ornamental trees, and all the for
mer should have at least one other
warrant for use, aside from the fruit
crop. Trees should be planted for
both ornament and material for in
struction, and these should be OF
standard commercial sorts. No spe,
cial plea Is made for apples, peaches,
aprcots etc. but a walnut and
chestnut both make grand shade trees
in summer and are instructive types
Of deciduous trees.
AS material from which to draw
upon for the use of classes in botany,
etc. these trees would not only be
always close at hand removing the
necessity OF using valuable school
hours for collecting trips aheld, but
would be available when of greatest
value and interest-when blooming,
fruiting, seeding etc. 1t would also
give the entire student body some
knowledge concerning the native vege-
tation Of the state, Of which he should
have good general Idea before study.

school yards so planted education
could never be confined to the four
walls OF classrooms nor narrowed TO

Pictures In Parks.

Before anybody comes forward with
the suggestion that the park commits
sioner's plan for moving pictures in
the parks or Fairgrounds Is whimsical
or that 1t would involve the city in
extravaganza It Is to be hoped that
the proposition will be studied from
all Its aspects. The most eXtravagant
course a city can pursue Is to permit
its children to go wrong. There are
the public schools, of course; but de-
spite the existence of these safeguards
there are large numbers OF sadly un-
schooled children In the clty,-children
whose parents appear to lack either
the ability or the will to attract young
peoples interests Anything the city
can do to attract the interest of these
children in harmless or wholesome
things Is well worth doing Children
who are interested in moving pictures
are not contemplating mischief of any
kind. Young people who are capable
of realizing that the city is interested
In them are sure to become interested

normal reasoning power.-St. Louis

Points for Improvement Workers,

The waging of Improvement work is
dependent for success upon the same
support accorded all effective warfare,
for the greatest need is money and
the second greatest need Is more
money. Funds are necessary for i'm,
mediate action and for perpetuation OF
the work and these should be secured
before starting on any specific prob
lem. Annual dues are necessary to
Insure permanence, for little lasting
interest is felt that is entirely aside
from all feeling Of proprletorship. In
terest all classes and all ages, do not
overlook the children and the work
they may do. Select for your initial
work something In "hich all, or near
ly all, are interested. Have regula'
and frequent meetings; nothing y
more contagious than enthu i"sm
