TREE TESTS 



THE best way to find out if you really know trees is to 

 organize a tree test among your friends. I know of no 

 more delightful out-of-doors pastime for a group of boys or 

 girls than to go out among the trees and actually find out 

 who can come out on top in a tree-naming contest. The 

 first thing to do is to select a leader, if you do not already 

 have one. He will select the trees for the test. After you 

 have examined the first test tree carefully, you will write 

 your answer in the blank space following the number one 

 in the blank tree tests that follow. Then, the leader will 

 select a second tree and you will write your answer in the 

 second blank space following the number two, and so on 

 until your first test of ten trees is completed. As soon as a 

 test is completed the test sheet of all who took part in the 

 contest is corrected, and then you will know just how well 

 you know the trees. For thirteen years the author of this 

 booklet conducted tree tests in the open, and he remembers 

 them as the most pleasant feature of all his teaching experi- 

 ences.
