Trees and Shrubs. — These serve not only as material for study 
but also are of prime importance in the aesthetic development of 
the school yard. "The primary object of the school is instruc- 
tion. The work of beautifying the school grounds should also 
carry with it an element of instruction. The grounds should 
serve as an object lesson for the residents of the community in 
which the school is located. They should be laid out on sound 
principles of landscape gardening, and be so well executed as to 
induce residents of the vicinity. to copy the general idea of the 
plan, and possibly the detail of the shrubbery groups. The idea 
of beauty can be emphasized in the proper grouping of trees 
and shrubs in relation to walks, drives, and vistas, and utility 
can be subserved by placing the heavy plantings so as to serve 
as a shield from the wind or sun. Shrubbery groups can be 
arranged so as to separate one portion of the grounds from 
another and yet not interfere with large open spaces wdiich can 
be used as playgrounds, etc."
