HIGH SCHOOLS 
J-TINE School Buildings testify 
generally to the efficiency of 
our public school system, but, have 
you ever noticed the pitiful at- 
tempts of individual teachers to 
instil ideas of beauty into the 
young mind by dreary little win- 
dow boxes that struggle feebly for 
life, like children in sweatshops. 
Nothing inspires such delight 
in a child as observation of nature 
and natural things, and the child 
mind responds as does no other, to 
influence good and beautiful. Plant 
trees and shrubs around your 
school buildings, teach the children 
to respect them, and you will find a raising of the whole tenor of your school. A reverence for trees will give 
children a refinement they will get in no other way, and especially is this true of the children from the meaner 
districts of the large cities, where oftimes the only conception the little things have of "the country" is based on 
the impressions from the school yard. Give these little ones a fraction of the delights you used to know at the 
country school house. Ornament playgrounds and school yards. The expense will be little compared with the 
results to the children, as well as to the civic pride. Our landscape Architect will cheerfully furnish plans and 
estimates for all school buildings. 
COLLEGES 
'JpHE beauty and dignity of the Old World Universities are the imposing avenues of Yew and Oak 
by forgotten hands whose work is immortal. Now is the time while our Universities are in process 
struction to plant for future generations. Do you know that more money is spent on education in the 
States than on any other one ob- 
ject? Why not call nature in to 
adorn the beautiful buildings that 
are the pride of the true citizen? 
With very little annual expense 
and the help of a working plan the 
grounds of a University may be 
transformed in a very few years.
