Show TREES IN SCHOOL GROUNDS Of Material Value In Prosecution of Studies, as Well as Pleasing to the Eye. In the grounds of every school there should be a collection of both fruit and ornamental trees, aaid all the former for-mer should have at least one other warrant for use, aside from the fruit crop. Trees should be planted for both ornament and material for la-strnction, la-strnction, and these should be of standard commercial sorts. No special spe-cial ploa is made for apples, poaches, apricots, etc., but a walnut and a chestnut both make grand shade trees In summer and are instructive types of deciduous trees. As material from which to draw upon for the use of classes in botanj-, etc., these trass voii'.J not ouly be ahvays close at hand, removing the necessity of U3ing valuable school hours for collecting trir3 afield, but would be available when of greatest value and interest when blooming, fruiting, seeding, etc. It would also give the entire student body some knc-'Iclge concerning the native vegetation vege-tation of the gtate, of which he should hi'.ve a good general idea before studying study-ing that from foreign lands. With echool yards so planted education could never be confined to the four v.olls of classrooms nor narrowed to a consideration of the three R's and closely allied etutiic3. |
