YOUTHS DESCRIBE
WASHINGTON TREES
1900 Notebooks on Nature Studies
Submitted in Contest by Dis
trict School Children.

Washington, city of trees, now has
O young population that appreciates
them.
Fifteen hundred notebooks of nature
studies, submitted by washington school
children in q tree contest sponsored Dy
the American Forestry Association, are
on display at the National Museum.
The contest, beginning last June,
with at least IS schools participating,
required Summer work-a Spartan test
of ones interest. How tree-minded the
youngsters have been is attested by the
originality of their work.
The notebooks, q colorful homfly OF
youthful ingenuity, display with dis
sective exactness every part of the tree.
One young forester covered his notebook
with birch bark. Another cover is inn
bedded with elm chips. Some note
books are prefaced by original poems,
others represent the shape OF leaf,
and most are illustrated by hand.
ct might appear that all youngsters
are interested in but one tree-the
Christmas pine" one Of the judges
laughed and then, waving his hand at
the notebook display, added, But there
are 1900 briefs for the defense"
The contest, limited to pupils Of the
fourth, nth and sixth grades, viii be
adjudged at the end Of the week. How
ever, almost buried under stacks OF
notebooks, the judges are a little du-
bious as to this. They themselves are

inlaid work to us. While lot OF
it is mighty good soil, quite a bit
would stand condensing. In fact it
would be advantage to the owners
in the saving of fencing, but the
most interesting, as we'll as the most
important thing over there, is the
people, and they like the land
some fatter than others, but they
all have big hearts. We wish we
could mention all of them, but
