OF SCHOOL GARDENS
Encourages the Child to Get Into
Close Communion With
Mother Nature.

The value of school gardens in plac-
ing the child in close communion with
Mother Nature cannot be overestimat-
cd. In these times of warfare we re-
call the words of one writer who
asked:
What conqueror in any part of life's
battle could desire a more beautiful,
more noble or a more patriotic monu-
ment than a tree planted by the hands
of pure and joyous children?"
Ex-Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachu-
sets said: Let the children in the
public schools be taught that everv
egg they take from the nests Ct the
birds means the loss of a little friend
of Massachusetts; means one less
winged crusader against the gypsy
moth. the brown-tail moth and the
crawling pests that destroy the food
of the people and the beauty of the
land. Save the trees! Save the birds
n a we may save the trees!" In the
school gardens the children have some
very practical and often painful les
sons regarding damage to plant life
through destructive insects.

Take Care of the Parks.

Years and years ago the necessity
for presenting any extended argument
in favor of the ownership of extensive
parks by municipalities was obviated.
1t has come to be generally under
stood and appreciated that these out
door breathing places afford not only
pleasure, but profit, and that instead
Of being a liability they are a very
valuable asset In the community
which has them. To be sure, those
who have automobiles or horses and
who can go out into the country as
far and as often as they like are not
particularly anxious for these nearby
grass plots, and yet when they have
visitors they are sure to take them
there. and they point with pride TO
these evidences OF municipal enter
prise. They ought cheerfully to pay
their share to provide these parks
for those whose lack Of means pre-
vents them from getting out into the
country at their will. and having an
hour or an afternoon in the or the
shade. in the fresh. pure air. There
Ia no other tax in town which ought to
be more cheerfully paid than that
which goes for parks.-Utica Press.

Slams That Save.

A decided decrease in the number
of traffic accidents is reported from
Portland, Ore, since the installation
there of o comprehensive system of
warning signs. The signs consist Of
red steel dials is inches in diameter
mounted on steel rods sunk three feet
in concrete at the curbs and standing
eight feet deep on the top of the dial.
The dials are painted bright red with
black letters, and read: School, Care
full" Caution. Bridge" Caution,
Steep Grade" Danger, Drive Slowly"
Hospital. Quiet" "Caution, Fire Sta
ton Danger. No outlet eau
ton. Dangerous Corner and SO on,
The signs are set in pairs about 100
feet from the danger point and in all
street directions from it. and are so
placed that the street lights will shine
upon them at night. Portland has a
population of about 10000 greater
than Rochester, and embraces more
than twice the area of this CITY,.

save the Trees.

The National Highway Protective as.
ISOLATION reports that two states have
adopted its legislation to mitigate the
evil Of defacing trees. fences and
buildings along public highways with
advertisements. The states that have
shown this wisdom are Rhode Island
and New York. The measure is not
drastic. 1t merely requires that no
advertisements can be placed on trees,
fences or buildings fanking highways
without the written consent of the
owner. A moderate penalty is i'm
posed for violation. 1t is not to be
hoped that this will wholly prevent the
evil, but it will exercise a wholesome
check OF its prevalence. Other states
might we'll follow the example, and
even more drastic legislation would
be in order.
