Lester F. Ward, a well-known
botanist, published the Flora of
Washington and Vicinity" in 1881.

Spring will come into the picture
officially this week, and I am sure
that soon, If you look at the weeping
willows around the Tidal Basin, and
along the Speedway, you will see the
lovely soft first green appearing on
the graceful branches. At no other
time of the year and on no other
trees does this particularly lovely
yellowish green first herald the ap-
proach of spring season, and 1t is
well worth the time to drive around
the Speedway just to drink in its
beauty. If you make the trip, try
to do it little before sunset, when
the rays of the declining sun are
slanting along the branches, I be-
ieve if you have never done this
you will be enchanted.
And by this same token we may
be certain that it won't be long
before the Washington gardens will
be painted with the blooming tulips
and iris which grows so profusely in
this, our city. Forsythia fronds will
f1aunt their golden loveliness in the
sunlight and spirea bushes look like
huge snoWballS
Spring is, undoubtedly. Washing
tons own season, for at no other
time of the year does she wear such
lovely colors. Gardens are the rule
rather than the exception, for
every householder who has even a
tiny plot of ground finds that with
little care and foresight he may
have thing of beauty and a joy
forever"
Because there is such a profu-
sion of loveliness right at our door,
ways we, as a general public, may
be little careless of it. We may
forget that our neighbor has a
particular pansy bed he cherishes
or lovely rose garden which is his
pride and joy. And we may for
get to train our children to respect
the rights of others and to take
as much pride in protecting the
lovely things in his community as
the owner does. Good citizenship
training begins when the toddler
first appropriates some forbidden
object. The rule of mine and
thine" must be instilled from baby
hood-but once thoroughly learned
it is a lesson never forgotten. And
it is lesson which stands one in
good stead, no matter in what di-
rection ones activities may lead.
1t is wrong to speak of children
as really bad. They may be mis-
chievous ana improperly trained
or improperly supervised, but they
are not bad. And the ordinary child
is easily appealed to, if the appeal
is made in the right manner. But
we must not expect to wait with
such training until the child is ado
lescent. We must begin in the
cradle and continue with friendly
guidance and helpfulness until the
lesson is completely and thor
oughly learned.
