FOR BETTER SCHOOL GROUND
Los Angeles Newspaper Urges the
5eautifyins Of Lands Adjacent to
Such Buildings.

The subcommittee on schools of the
1915 identifying committee, together
with the judges in the school grounds
contest, have Joined forces in asking
that the work OF identifying the
grounds OF schools in Los Angeles
county be continued until every one OF
them ghall be we'll embellished with
trees, shrubs and plants. The writer
sincerely hopes that the judges,
Messrs. Lahee, Kienholz and Mcqueen,
will aid the subcommittee in the
preparation Of a report sufficiently
definite and specific in its recon-
mendations so that a practical pro-
longation of the present line of work
may be assured until not only all the
schoolgrounds of this county shall
be artistically planted, but the move
ment spread to include all our beauti-
full southland.
In the past people who should be
most interested have often proved
unusually apathetic on the question of
establishment of school grounds. 1t
has been a matter of wonderment to
the writer why the one piece of
ground in a community in which all
have common ownership and in which
all have a common interest should be
the only one neglected Yet such has
proved to be true in a score of cases
coming under observation. Now SEN
timent is undergoing a rapid change
for the better. The impetus given the
identifying OF school grounds by the
1915 committee will be far-reaching
and permanent. If the one suggestion
made be carried out, namely, that no
prize winner of the present year be
allowed to compete for two years, the
time will come when nearly all will
have won one or more prizes and all
will be more or less beautiful. The
county should have an official adviser
to visit and report upon ways and
means OF improving each school, or,
better still, the county should hire
some competent designer to plan every
school ground in the county. Then
would all have the same foundation
on which to begin work-the only prop
er foundation.-Los Angeles Times.

PRUNING peciduous Trees.

Do not be afraid to prune deciduous
trees and shrubs now, simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
leaves. 1t is a good rule to prune the
shrubs Just as soon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be profitably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
Quent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint, as
phalt, tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain a film over the wound. The
latter will then start TO heal over this
season and the work be vigorously re-
newed in early spring.
