NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



[7 :2 — Feb., 191 1 



Nearly every year the Newark shade tree commission may 

 have to collect many trees because they died. If we had taken 

 good care of them they would not have died, trees must not be 

 crowded by the sidewalk or any other places they must have 

 much water to grow as we must have food to grow. The gro- 

 ceries men must not throw any salt water on them and horses 

 must not chew the trees. The owner of the house must have 

 some wire around the tree take good care of them. The young 

 trees we are going to be careful of, because their i*oots are small 

 and they cannot reach to the wells to give them water to drink like 

 the old trees have. The old trees do not suffer much as the 

 younger trees, anybody could have a young tree built near his 

 home for less than $5.00.

CONCLUSION 



To the readers of The Nature-Study Review little mention 

 need be made of the value of such work. Militant nature-study 

 it certainly was. Intensive study of civics it proved to be. The 

 children soon learned the law, the penalty and the court of appeal 

 if no attention was paid to the warning; but best of all they 

 learned the lesson that to win by education and tactful argu- 

 ment was a greater victory than to punish for violation. Such 

 an education of heart and brain driven home by muscular effort 

 and emphasized by the "pointy stick" should count for some- 

 thing in the formation of character.
