New Jerseys Plan to
Preserve Shade Trees

The New Jersey state highway COM
mission, which is constructing and i'm
proving q vast network of roads all
over that state, has just adopted rule
which Is heartily to be commended for
imitation by road builders everywhere.
That is, that for every shade tree by
the roadside which it is compelled to
destroy, it will set out two new ones.
This will check a great. evil, and eff
feet considerable positive good. In
the last few years thousands Of fine
shade trees have been destroyed along
the roads of that state, some by the
state and some by local authorities.
Roads have been improved, so far as
the pavement is concerned. But they
have been damaged, so far as comfort
and appearance are concerned, by be-
ing denuded of trees. In some cases
this was inevitable, where it was nee
essary for safety or convenience to
widen the roads, or to eliminate dan
gerous curves. In others, probably in
half the cases, 1t was entirely needless
and wanton.
Under the new rule 1t is obvious that
greater care and discrimination will
be exercised, so as to destroy no trees
which can possibly be preserved. When
any must be, removed, they will be
doubly replaced, so that roads will
actually have more trees than before.
Exchange.

Interest in Schools
HIGHEST Civic Virtue

It Is estimated in the bureau OF edu'

types of rural schools in the United
States. About nine million OF THESE
children come from farm homes. Inc

but are part of the farm population
To provide the best modern educa'
tional advantages for these children is
a cause worthy of generous sacrlrce

parents, and some
times only one child to a set of par
ents. 1t was this way in Reven-Saw,
at any rate And in cases where there
was only one child to two parents.
this child got help and advice from
the others after they had all changed
places.
There had been a good deal of talk
about this beforehand, which was real
ly only natural. 1t was quite an un-
usual happening. In fact, Reven-Saw
is the only town I've ever heard of
where they did such a thing.
Many of the parents had been say
ing, more often than usual, that they
only wished they could be children
again. They said this when the chill
dren grumbled bit at the thought of
school opening soon, or when the chill
dren urged to be allowed to sit up
later, or when they wanted big, expen-
Sive toys.
"Why, when we were children" the
parents would say, 1--WE went to bed
without word the minute we were
told. And children want so much these
days. In our time we had simple
tastes and were pleased with so little.
You do not appreciate being young.
Children have nothing to worry them"
The children began wishing they
could really show the parents what it
felt like to be children, and they felt
they would like to be the ones who
were grown up for change. Well, as
this was the general feeling in the
town, there seemed no reason why all
shouldn't just change places, and one
day, just a week before the opening
of school. the great change took place.
The idea had actually started in the
Fenwick family. Sally and Robert
Fenwick had talked quite little about
it, and it was surprising how, once the
idea caught hold, it became so possible
At first there was great confusion.
Of course only the parents and chill
dren actually changed places. Those
who were not parents stayed the same,
such as the teachers and a number of
aunts and uncles. The grandmothers
and grandfathers didn't change. They,
in any event, often took the side of
child, and had been known to say to
a parent:
"You did the very same when you
were little"
When the relatives from other places
heard of this unusual happening in
Reven-Saw, they decided they would
not pay any visits for awhile. 1t was
trying enough to visit in a house full
of restless children. Where the chill
dren were the ones in authority the
relatives knew they would have no
peace.
The children handed over their
school books to their parents and be-
gan to order the meals and make their
business plans. 1t took almost a week
before things were in running order.
The cooks stayed on. They liked the
idea of a change without having to
move. In houses where there weren't
cooks the one who liked to mix bis
cults and cakes and puddings and pies
and put big roasts in the oven took this
part of the work.
Yes, it was surprising how quickly
everything did straighten itself out and
how happy everyone was with the new
arrangement.
After all, the parents had been very
