Austria, having already stabilized its

or fractions of this standard coin.
Germany's latest effort to reorganize
its currency consists in the issue OF

Americans Learning Value of Trees?

~OL. WILLIAM B. GREELEY,
chief forester, is an optimist
~ He thinks the American people
are learning something about
the value of trees. Trees have occu-
pied the major portion of Colonel
Greeley's waking thoughts since as a
child he was taken out of the walk
around chair and given an ak to play
with. He was born in Oswego, n. T.,
In 1879, when New Yor,. was in touch,
at least, with the great northern for
ests. Then he went TO California and
lived among the big trees as boy
of ten. Yale forest school put finish
Ing touch to his education and then
he headed for the big woods again.
SO he came TO be chief forester of the
forestry bureau in good time.
He thinks in time we may be as
smart as the Swedes-about trees.

PUNISHMENT OF PUPILS WAS CRUEL

All the youngsters, whatever others
may do, will approve the dismissal of
the school teacher who disrobed a
six-year-old boy as punishment, says
Girard in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The +cruel and unusual" so to
speak, has almost vanished from the
public schools.
DR.. j. George Becht, our Pennsyl-
vania state superintendent, can recall
when that was not the case.
The little gray schoolhouse--it rarely
could afford to be painted red or any
other color-was then heated by a big
square stove which burned cord wood.
One mode of punishment was TO
make boy stand upon piece of wood
on the floor, which required nice bal
ancing and soon became a torture.
That was less punishment, however,
than another often adopted A boy or
girl was made TO hold heavy book
with outstretched arm.
Try that and see how heavy even
the lightest-weight novel becomes In
ten minutes.
One form of school punishment has
not changed.
