TREE HERITAGE 



Altogether it was a delightful essay, and it reminded me 

 of the story of the frivolous Don at Cambridge, who, 

 when the serious minded Undergraduate, with a poetical 

 turn of mind, said, ''On a summer's day I love to lie on 

 the grassy sward near a shady tree with a book," the 

 Don retorted, "Why with a book?" However, Winifred 

 Bailey was mentioned on the radio the following week, 

 as having contributed the best essay and since those days, 

 teaching by radio has become a firmly established insti- 

 tution and, by it, millions of people both young and old 

 have been made tree-minded.
