QUESTION UP A

Berlin. July 2.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press)-The question
whether photos, chromos or busts Of
the dethroned German emperor are
to be tolerated in official buildings
and public schools, has come up again
for discussion before the Prussian diet
which was informed by Konrad Haen-
isch, the minister Of education that,
despite his efforts to leave the deli
cate task to the tact and judgment
Of the respective officials, numerous
instances have been reported to his
ministry to the effect that the Hohen-
zollern ernblems. C removed, have
been ostentatiously restored.
This prompted him to Issue a new
edict which orders the definite relnov-
al of such pictures and other remind
ers with the exception Of art products.
.Haenisch was a%pplauded by the left
when he declared that the reminders
Of '"old kaiser days could be no more
tolerated than were the republican
{, emblems under the old regime.
He suggested that the iconoclastic
operations should proceed with as lit
tie demonstration as possible and
recommended teachers to use their
summer vacation for the job Of pack
ing up the painted. etched and mar
bied Hohenzollern.

WIDER variety Possible mere
In planting for lawns and parks and
similar open places there is a far
greater variety of trees from which
selection can be made than for street
planting. Many trees which are I'M
suited for one reason or another on a
sidewalk are most attractive and orna-
mental In a mark or on a lawn. The
beech. for instance. which has no value
for street planting. makes a beautiful
lawn tree. and either the native or the
European species may be planted. The
sour or black gum grows under most
adverse circumstances. but apparently

growth. Forest grown trees have poor
root systems and must be severely
pruned by removing the greater part
of the side branches. Never cut back
the main stem or leader.
Must Not Become Root Bound.
Trees become root bound and make
poor growth or die If the roots are
cramped or twisted. Dig wide, deep
holes. The holes should be q foot or
two wider and deeper than is needed
to accommodate the roots. For street
trees, the hole should be about twice
as large as the root system actually
requires. Partly fill the hole with
rich loan and pack it down well. If
poor soil must be used, mix with
well rotted manure. Green or partly
decomposed manure will burn the
roots and must not be used.
The upper roots should lie only an
inch or two deeper in the soil than
they grew originally. Spread out the
roots in their natural position and
work soil around them, a little at n
time, compacting 1t firmly with the
fingers or IA pointed stick. Occasion
ally stamp 1t with the foot so that no
air spaces remain. Also see that the
stem OF the tree is kept perfectly yer-
tlcal, since any attempt to straighten
the tree after planting is finished IA
liable to injure the tree. The Anal

After planting the tree should be
staked to prevent 1t from swayinR in
the wind and growing crooked. The
stake should be long enough to sun
port the trunk for two-thirds the
height of the tree. Attach the tree N
the stake in several places by leather
or canvas straps around the tree, or by
rope run through sections of old rub

Shallow cultivation of the soil for
three feet around the tree is beneficial
during the first few years of growth.
Loosen the top soil with a spade or

Built Hangar of Boxes.
In England an officer very high in
the air service especially had praised
this general American characteristic
and on one occasion had commented
with Armament upon the fact that
some of the best mechanics at a GER
tain great British aerodrome, where a
man shortage had been supplied by
the Americans, were from the great
colleges of the United States. I re-
member that this formed the topic for
much dinner table talk among a COM
pany of some distinction one evening

cans led by college men had built a

to be available.

dent Lowell, IT mean the capacity of

street or a broad avenue. II there is
any doubt on the question it Is ad
visable to consult the State Forest
Commission, the local forester or some
other authority who can tell what va
rieties are best for a given locality.
No general rules, of course. can be
given for the entire United States. the
American Forestry Association points
out, but In a larger part Of the east
ern United States it will be found that
for narrow streets the red maple, red
gum or ginkgo can be recommended;
for wider streets, Norway maple. bass
wood, horse chestnut or pin oak, and
for wide avenues. white elm, white
oak, red oak and tulip poplar.
Hardness and adaptability are the
main points about a street tree. They
should be vigorous, be able to recover
from mechanical injuries and be as re-
sistant as possible against insect at
tack and disease. While quick growing
trees are desirable in some ways 1t
must be remembered that such varie-
ties are likely to be shortest lived and
will have to be replaced sooner than
those of a somewhat slower growth,
which with good care can be made to
develop more rapidly. 1t is not de-
sirable to have trees which cast too
much shade, particularly on narrow
streets. Houses and sidewalks need
sun even in summer. Deciduous,
broad leaved trees are most satisfac-
tory.
What DO Avoid in Cities.
Again the question of neatness should
be considered, and trees which will
break up the pavement, such as silver
NAPLES, or those which cover the pave
ment with their bloom in the spring,
such as cottonwoOds and poplars,
should be avoided. Black locust should
not be planted because II is likely to
be destroyed by the borer worm.
Beech is a slow grower and casts too
dense a shade for any street.
Trees planted along a street should
be OF the same kind. the same size
and uniformly spaced. However, It
Is not desirable to plant the same spe-
ctes on every street; but the advan-
tage Of having those of q kind to-
sether is that in case OF insect attack
they can be treated easier. On mar
! row streets trees planted forty feot
apart and alternated on opposite
sides of the street will be found suffi-
ciently close; and on wider streets
they should he from forty to sixty
feet or even Further apart, the dis
lance being determined partly by the
size which the tree is likely to attain.
Every tree should have at least six
square feet of earth above its roots.

plenty of space where the pavemsr

that knowledge which has been &C

Resourcefulness' is the quality
that makes the great difference be-
tween what we call in the mechanical
pursuits the rule of thumb, or In
the moro advanced pursuits technical
training and the ability to solve new
problems.

cording to the Bible story, had dream
which made a deep impression on his
mind" president Lowell's eyes were
twinkling) Therefore he sent for the
Chaldeans, men learned in the inter-
probation of dreams by means Of GER
tain well established rules.
when they came he asked them
what his dream meant, and naturally
they demanded the details OF the
vision. Then when he said he had
forgotten them they found themselves
without resource ana told him that
ii was impossible for them to interpret
dream for any one who did not re-
member what his dream had been.
y Daniel Used Deduction.
Then the great king sent for Daniel,
and when he arrived told him the
situation. Daniel differed from the
Chaldeans in that he was a man OF
resource. His imagination indicated
to him the nature of the dream and
what his Interpretation of It should
be, and he guessed Alright.
THAT illustrates the difference be-
tween a man Of resource and a man
without resource, between a man who
works only by accepted, established
rule and the man whose trained mind
permits him to add to the value Of
knowledge of established rules the
value of accurate imagination.

Men who can do this will go over

What was true of the students
during our belligerency was true of
the professors. An astonishing number
of men of purely academic training
made good in the public offices or in
fields not closely connected with the
subjects of their teaching. 1t had been

demic and impractical. but the work
