enough heat and might not come out
at its usual time. Weather does count
a little, III admit. But the inner
growth Of the tree is what counts most.
Children are like that. A date IS set
for their arrival at certain stages of
growth. We haven't much To do with
their ARRIVAL The inner power attends
to the business Of growing.
I wonder what this inner power can
be? What is the force that sets growth
in motion and keeps it going and brings
it to full maturity in good time? What
is this mystery that evadeS us, search
as we may? "The tree generates heat, :"
says the scientist. Yes, but how?
Why?
All life and all growth are mystery
We have some little share in it, though
the root of the matter is not with US
but with some power beyond our under
standing. 1t works on in the silence.
We approach our goal by routes we
never planned. We arrive at ends that
astonish us. Somehow we have grown
to the power we needed. We have
reached a pleasant place.
Children are like trees sleeping
Their outward beings give little sign Of
inward growth but if we watch we can
see that Illumination that means
warmth, life, activity, something going
on, and before we realize it they have
burst into bloom. they are waving their
arms in the glory of Spring time.

If when either milk or -four is added

A Little Saturday Talk.

robin story with a sad ending Is
told in this letter from Corner reader:
Dear Uncle Ray: About a year ago
my brother found a little robin that
had fallen out of the nest He brought
1t home, and We fed 1t out of a spoon
until 1t was large enough to eat alone.
We called him 'Chew-ee' and he
soon was very tame and did many cute
little tricks. That Summer We went to
visit my grandmother and later to the
beach. While we were gone, We left
the bird with friend It was terribly
hot, and when we came back our little
Chew-ee was dead. Yours truly,
JEAN sorry"
1t was kind of Jean and her brother
to do their best for the baby robin. To
keep such a robin alive is a hard task
When possible, the best thing to do for
baby robin which falls from the nest
before the proper time, is to put it
back in the nest This may require a
ladder, and the help Of some one to hold
the ladder firmly when you use 1t for
climbing
Speaking of holding the ladder firmly
makes my thoughts go to the subject
OF safety. So far as any one knows, we
have but one life to live on this
wondrous earth, and we should be on
guard against losing it.
Summer vacation offers us time for
fun; but 1t is foolish to turn a vacation
into a time of danger. I recall a sport
which I used to follow now and then
it was called stump the leader" One
of the boys who played with me per-
formed stunts which might have been
called daring and which also might
have been called silly"
If any of your playmates should
dare" you to do something which is
dangerous, suggest that you prove your
good sense by refusing to take the
dare
What would you call the main danger
which boys and girls face during Sum-
mer vacations? That Is a subject which
is worth thinking about.
Have any of your friends come close
to drowning?
To be able to swim Is a fine thing,
but We must not suppose that 1t pro-
tects lis from all danger in the water.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

For at least 40 years the psycholo-
gists have been trying to find out
whether or not animals have the ability
to reason. Any one who owns dog
will tell you that this is no question.
Almost any dog owner will assert that
his dog is able to reason about as well
as some people But the psychologists
will not accept this pronouncement.
Their contention is that no animal
below man has the power to analyze
a problem and to marshal the results OF
past experience In the solution of the
problem.
This question of reasoning has al
ways been hard to settle. Perhaps 1t
will never be satisfactorily answered.
Like most psychological problems, this
one is wrapped in the mystery of
definition of terms. At any rate no
one seems to agree on the question as
TO the point where instinct and habit :
leave off and reason sets in. Some say
that reasoning is the same thing as ;
learning. 1t that's true, animals can
reason, no. so fast as human beings, ;
but still they reason.
One of the greatest psychologists OF !
all times made this comment: IF you
make your definition of reasoning easy
enough so that all human beings can
be said to reason, then In all probability .
animals can reason; if you make your
definition SO difficult that no animal I
can come under 1t, then only few
human beings will be able to reason :

Bur Oak.

ElNG picturesque Is only one Oh
- the virtues of the mossy-cup
oak. 1t is rugged tree with a
- disposition to throw out its arms
without any attention paid to
symmetry. Its shaggy, unkempt limbs
cast off bark without any thought that
it is untidy. Even the young twigs'
broad, corky wings are seen as old and
decrepit from distance.
The bur oak is valuable tree and
is one of the most widely known and
distributed of our North American oaks.
1t is a good scout and puts up with
all sorts of conditions and weather. Hot
or cold, dry or wet. the bur oak makes
the best of every situation in which 1t
finds itself.
Sturdiness Is an outstanding quality.
With good soil the tree makes rapid
strides, and is soon friendly and beau
tiful tree in Winter and Summer. When
1t has reached old age. it gives an i'm
preston of rugged strength. Its birth
days are recorded faithfully. The rings
tell the story.
In May the half-grown leaves of two
types are soft tender green. The
flowers appear now, the staminate ones
are yellow and hairy, the pistillate ones
have red, hairy scales. The stigma
are bright red. In the Fall, the acorns
are unusual. They vary in size and
shape, but the shallow cup is brown
and hairy, with loose scales and q
handsome mossy fringe. When the fruit
is ripe, the kernel is white and sweet
The bur oak is native of America
and, of course, belongs to the well
known oak family. The trees form the
