MORE FLOWERS 

 AND LESS CRIMINALS 



jo EDUCATE the child to be kind to animals, 

 to admire a tree or love a flower, is to re- 

 strain him from acquiring criminal habits ; 



therefore I submit the following as a standing 



proposition, namely: 



" For the lecture, mentioned on the opposite page, 

 I charge $25 and expenses. To any individual, society 

 or community who will arrange for this lecture and 

 guarantee expenses I will refund fifteen of the twenty- 

 five dollars, same to he invested in penny packages of 

 llower seeds to he distrihuted among children of the very 

 poor or neglected districts. I beg to suggest, also, that 

 societies be formed to reach and teach these unfortunates 

 to beautify their desolate places of abode." 



To prevent crime is cheaper and wiser than 

 punishing it. 



Those who learn all that is in this " primer," 

 and need more advanced lessons in order to be 

 enabled to instruct, may do well to procure a 

 copy of "The Tree Doctor," from 



JOHN DAVEY, 



KENT, OHIO.
