Who Was It?

The next time you are walking
or riding along the road through
the woods keep a sharp lookout
for little pine trees. You will
find some growing on the tip'top
of old clay roots all along. You
should observe, may be, in most
of these cases that it is lonely,
without brothers and sisters, yet
there is much room on the vacant,
bare ground all around for many
more, but they are not there.
The one on the clay root is hold.
ing on for dear life.
Why did it not choose to grow
down on the good ground where
the soil is better? The seed fell
from the tree on this very clay
root and at the same time many
more seed fell on the good, open
ground around the clay root,
they all started to grow together.
There is just one left. One out
of hundreds and thousands.
Where are the othersP Figure
it out and it will do you good to
have discovered a truth Of nature.
You will say how stupid we have
been.
From the car windows observe
the clusters or groups of little
young pine trees while they grow
as it were, huddled up for protec-
ton, sometimes in bar pits, and
in the cold,- wet places along
the edge Of some swamp, as if
they do not dare come out in the
open on the drier better soil OF
the abundant open bare woods.
Does the pine really prefer to
grow where the ground is wet,
cold and soggy' Figure it out,
it will do Us good to find the real
reason. Some will tell us that
this particular kind Of pine, may
be the slash or loblolly, prefers
wet feet. And yet there is abun.
dant evidence to prove that both
OF these varieties thrive and grow
faster on dry ground. Good po-
rous soil is no barrier to these
pines. Is itnot closer to the truth

ly self-supporting. The blind
child who is allowed to grow up
in ignorance and helplessness will
sooner or later become a bur.
den on the parish in which he
lives. We all appreciate that
every seeing child should have an
education in order to get on in
the world; let US not forget that
the blind child IS in even greater
need of instruction, for he must
fight the worlds battles with four
senses instead of five. In order
that no sightless child may be
neglected, we are asking citizens
of the State to send the names and
addresses of the blind and partial.
ly blind children to j. j. Murphy,
Superintendent of the Louisiana
State School for the Blind, Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.
This school boards and instructs
mentally sound blind children
during term of eight months
each year. 1t maintains primary
and high school departments and
in addition, gives special courses
in industrial work and music.
Good food and daily physical cul'
ture are provided. The school
grounds are extensive and afford
splendid opportunities for out.
door life. There are no char ges
of any kind, the school being sup
ported entirely by the State. The
management of the school will
greatly appreciate any informa-
ton concerning any blind child
who is not now receiving the ad'
vantage of a free education.
