KELP Folia j Greatly Enhances Comfort and Adds to Attractiveness' of Grounds. Childrtn May Do tha Work Under Direction of Teachers and Find It a .' Pleasure. ; For those Interested In the welfare of their borne towns the following will prove very Interesting and Instructive: A friend of the writer, who was very proud of ber son and deeply mys tified at bis apparent Inability to sue reed.' In speaking of blm said: Ml can't understand lu He went to school for twelve years and received an excellenl education. . I sent him to the district school, from there to the village high school, and" then supported him while h tank a twn ( pr cnnnn at an asxt- cultural college." Some time later the writer Wfnt to. see this young man (who. by the way. was a most agree able and kindly - chapr on his farm. Then be realized that the most vital part of his education bud been neg lected. He was absolutely deficient In ability to see things. His powers of observation bad never been awak ened. The result was that the tittle ihings which make for success were overlooked. " . . Many a man bas mude a tremendous Muccesa In bis life who was deficient in education, but trained to observe. This sense should be developed early, and the duty falls ou the teachers II the country and village schools as weli as on the parents. It Is surprising how quickly children will become interested In .watching tond questioning about trees, birds, animals, etc. This Instinct, nurtured and developed. Is Invaluable to the man or woman who expects to make farmtnjr his or her profession. By the use of this sense, we might al most call It, changes' In tbe weather are foretold, the hay Is cut at Its very best stage, the health of the live stock Is maintained, and so on through a long list of little things that count for so much. . , - . In our country schools trees, flowers and birds are tbe most available and beautiful productions of nature that can be used to point out interesting things for the children to study, How many children realize that a tree Is a living thing, with vital functions and parts; that they have systems of di gestion, assimilation and respiration, with organs for carrying on tbe won derful and various processes of life, much the same as animals; that a tree breathes the same as an animal; that In . the leaves the breathing' goes on through the pores, and In tbe parts of the tree covered by bark it goes on through the small, light colored, raised spots, which can be plainly seen on the young branches of nearly all trees; that some, trees mature early, others take a thousand years; that In the Bame climatic and soil conditions trees will assume different forms one will develop a round, well branched top. another will have a central stem, while some will yield turpentine, some sug ar, and so on through the long list of trees, and finally that no two varieties of trees have the same bark or tbe same blossoms or manner of reproduc ing themselves. There are sufficient practical rea sons for planting trees about our scboolhouses, which should appeal to even the most matter of fact person. Perhaps the strongest reason Is tbe comfort of the teachers and pupils who have to live In the scboolhouses for five or six hours a day for from six to nine months in tbe year. In summer the sun pours down Its heat on the unprotected building, while, In the winter tbe Icy blasts necessitate a large supply of fuel, which often times fails to keep the inside tempera ture much above the freezing point. A small sum of money Invested each year In trees would soon produce a wonderful difference in the appearance of our schools. Trees are cheaipand may be bought for 60 cents eachVom any reliable nurseryman, which would mean a contribution of 5 cents apiece from twenty scholars to cover all the cost. Including eipressage. The plant ing should be done In an Intelligent, systematic way from some good plan. This should be a detailed outline of the planting, based on a careful analysis of the situation. A map of the grounds should be made, with the buildings lo cated and the spots where the trees are to be planted shown. Before going as far as this, however, the teacher and the pupils should study something about tbe trees, their nature, size, hab its and soil preferences. For example, a purple leaved beech should stand alone, where It can develop In all Its glory. On the other hand, evergreens look well In groups or planted as a Wlpdhrenk. . ' ...
