EXHIBIT IN NATURE
STUDY SCHEDULED

An extensive exhibition of bird
houses. electrical devices and wind
Instruments. along with carefully
written notebooks in which are de-
scribed the principles of elementary
science and gardening upon which
each OF the exhibited articles was
constructed, will be conducted in divi-
sions of the elementary schools either
late in February or early in March.
according to plans now beins ar.
ranged by the II nature study"
teachers of the public school system.
The bird house phase Of the ma
ture study. which embraces elemen-
tary science and gardening. is per.
h1ps the most popular of the whole
course. Last year. when the sixth
and seventh grades of the schools
were engaged in the work. more than
5000 bird houses and feeding shelves
were constructed by the pupils. This
year, however, the bird house instruc-
ton is confined to the sixth graded
alone and these pupils. who have been
instructed during December on the
proper design and structure of the
houses, are striving to near the mark
set by both grades last year.
AS in previous years, when. the bird
houses are completed and exhibited
they will be set up in Arlington Ma
tiOnal Cemetery under the direction
Of Miss Katherine II. Stuart of the
Audubon Society.
The coming exhibition will not be
confined to the sixth grade. however,
but will include also the eighth
grade, whose pupils will show cleo.
trical machines such as telegra ph
sets and motors. and the seventh
grade. exhibiting air pressure instru-
ments which they built in the course
of their study OF air and its powers
The fifth grade pupils will illustrate
their study of forestry chiefly with
display of their notebooks.
Miss Esther Scott Is the teacher
in charge of elementary science and
school gardens in the school system.

fellow hated to be hungry on Christ
mas day
No held,up lady could withstand a
plea like that, so she paid the orphan
two quarters and told him to buy his
sandwich and take the holly to his
mother. This act of tender sentiment
on her part pleased them both to such
an extent that. while he was rubbing
knuckle in his eye to keep from
CRYING, she was wondering if she
couldn't start him in the newspaper
selling business. when another lad
materialized TO Vel out with derisivc
sympathy:
Say. Bud, how's your MAJ"
Bud flashed out of the incident fol
lowed by his betraycr. And the
woman. who couldn't have been at all
a good citizen. interested in the up
holding of the law, looked after the
two and grinned.
A BOY is making an experiment
"A with unsold Christmas trees. He
failed last year. but. following the line
OF action laid down by the poet per.
son, means to try, try again-and
keep on trying until he succeeds. And
that makes his little affort worth tell
ing about.
Il swiped two trees from a pile
against the side wall of a grocery
store, which wasn't stealing. you
know, because they were leftovers
and would stay there until somebody
carted them away to a dump. The
ones / took were sappy, and ! slit the
ends into six parts, as II they were
roots, don't you know. We have a
good bit of ground at our house. the
other side of the District line. and, If
1 could make Christmas trees grow, ii
would look pretty, and, maybe. be
worth money to me some time. Last
year l just dug a hole and put the
trees in. and, of course, they froZe up,
but this time / started in a week
ahead to dig my holes, and put the
earth in barrels in the garage.
Just before l brought home my
trees turned the heat on, and before
planting filled the holes with the warm
earth and piled straw high up around
each bush. l am hoping the ground
will keep from freezing until the slith-
cred ends of the tree get set. / tell
you. if all the trees left over from
Christmas could be replanted there
would be big money in it, besides saw
ing the poor things from the dump
A forester could, doubtless. give
some powerfully wise reasons against
so foolish an effort. and the boy will
have to realize another disappoint.

Christmas trees is a splendid thing.
