URGES CITY TREE PLANTING
Professor Francis Finds Room for TO-
500 on Upper East Side at
New York.

Prof. H. r. Francis of the New York
State College of Forestry at Syracuse
university, who has been making a
detailed survey OF the streets in Man
hattaA for the Tree Planting ~associa-
ton of New York city, has just COM
pleted the survey of the streets east of
Fifth avenu between Eighty-sixth and
Fortieth.
In this area there are nearly sixty
miles of streets, 40 miles of which
are capable of sustaining tree growth
At present there are only SAL trees,
while it is possible to have 10,500.
In certain sections trees are really
needed, where there are thousands
of children who have no place to play
other than in the streets. Other cities,
such as Buffalo, Newark and New Ha.
ven, are successful where conditions
for growth are as adverse as those
found in this part of Manhattan. New
York city could have trees If sufficient
appropriations were made.
Professor Francis finds that the few
trees which have been planted the
past two or three years are dying
either from dry soil conditions or from
the attack of insect pests.-New York
Times.

1t came to her not as toll but as play. She lived
In a land of fairies and giants and gnomes.
In explaining her system, Mrs. Stoner starts
out with the assumption that every child is born
with a distinctive tendency or talent and that this
will always bear fruit, If discovered and cult
waited in babyhood. 1t is the mothers part to dis
cover this in infancy and to try to develop II Just
as much as to keep its body clean and see that
1t has the proper food. The mothers obligation
begins before birth and imposes upon her the
Duty of keeping herself so healthy and serene,
both mentally and physically, that the baby Will
not have to start out with handicaps on its very
FIRST day.
Not being able to sing, Mrs. Stoner chanted
the lines from Virgil's Aeneid to put the baby to
sleep and taught the childs negro nurse to do
the same. She declares that the meter is very
soothing and that she has seen many another
child yield to the somnolent influence Of "Arma
virumque cano, Troiae qui primus alb oris."
When Winifred was six weeks old her mother
began reciting selections from the English poets.
The baby's favorites seemed to be Tennyson's
Crossing the Bar" and Macaulay's "Horatius at
the Bridge" By the time Winifred was a year
old she could repeat Crossing the Bar and
scan the first ten lines of the Aeneid. The mother
invented a game in which she would roll a ball
to the baby and say "Arma." Winifred would
roll it back and say ~"Virumque," and in this way
the Latin words and meter were fixed In the
baby's memory.
From the very beginning the mother would
carry nSI UdDy dDOuI IL uOuoS, punt Jul I'LL
tables, etc, and pronounce their names carefully.
She found 1t was just as easy to teach the baby to
say train" as to say "choo-choo car" and just as
easy to teach her to say dog as to say "~doggie."
She surrounded the baby with colored pictures.
To teach her colors Mrs. Stoner would take a box
of variously tinted yarns. She would play she
was Mother Red" and baby would be Mother
Green" and they would look into the yarn for
their children, those of green tints, of course, be-
ing the babies of Mother Green"
Winifred's first toy was a red balloon, which
was tied to her wrist where she could admire 1t.
Each day thereafter for several weeks there
would be a balloon of different color and shape,
until the child speedily came to know whether a
balloon was light, round, red, green and would 60
up and come down. She was never permitted to
hear anything but the best English, although the
mother was not fnicky about vigorous, expressive
slang.
As soon as the child had learned to speak Eng
fish reasonably we'll her mother began teaching
her Spanish. By the time she was five she had
learned to express herself in eight languages.
Mrs. Stoner declares, however, II she had it to do
over again she would teach Esperanto first

Photographs at the rate of a hun

C%arefulness on the part of every
body is necessary to keep the streets
clean. A careless boy, throwing
scraps of papers in the highway, can
make a tidy city block look untidy in
thirty seconds. But it is not alone
children on whom the responsibility
rests. Many a grown person has the
reprehensible habit of casting into the
streets all sorts Of unwanted articles
pieces Of old newspapers, cigarette
boxes, candy bags, banana skins and
the like. Such t~houghtless persons
should be forced to a sharp realization
of their offensive practice, The city
suffers seriously from their aggregate
c~arelessness.

CRUELTY IN ANIMAL WORLD
That Sick and Ailing Are Invariably
Put to Death by Their Comrades
ls Well Known.

Many pretty tales are told in chill.
dren's story books regarding the kind
ness of animals to each other, but
probably most Of these are nothing
more than the products of the imagin-
alton, for there is very little kindness
shown in the animal world when n
of their number is sick.
Wild birds and animals give no
quarter to a weak or sickly comrade.
This fact probably %accountr for the
mystery of never seeing a dead wild
bird or animal, for Immediately one
falls sick it is done to death, and
buried, no one knows where.
The weakling dragging after a herd
or flock is quickly put out of Its mis-
cry, not for humane reasons, but for
fear of the latter being revealed to a
common foe.
Nor are tame animals and birds
less guilty In this respect. Healthy
birds in an aviary will bully an all
ing bird shamefully. A sickly hen in
a poultry yard has a miserable time,
and even cats which have been
brought up together will round on"
one of their number II 1t falls sick.
No satisfactory explanation has yet
been given to account for this deplor.
able characteristic in birds and ami
mails. 1t has been suggested that they
are governed by that apparently cruel
law. "the survival of the fittest."
More likely is 1t that instinct guides
them in thiC respect, for the good oil
the race, so mat sicily young may
not be reared from sickly parents OF
maybe. a limited food supply renders
the removal Of the useless desirable
