Obituary, 
Clement Studebaker, president and 
founder of the well-known firm of 
wagon manufacturers, Studebaker 
Bros., died at his home in South Bend, 
Ind., November 17, 1901. Mr. Stude- 
baker, the eldest of the three brothers, 
was 70 years old, and had been presi- 
dent of the company from its incorpo- 
ration in 1868 until his death. As the 
dominant figure in the organization and 
growth of the greatest vehicle manu- 
facturing company in the world, his 
genius and ability as a business man 
need no words of praise. Against rivals 
of standing and power the business of 
Studebaker Brothers grew from humble 
proportions to be the dominant in- 
fluence in its field, and as its continu- 
ous president, the energy, integrity and 
business ability of the elder brother was 
responsible for a large share of its suc- 
cess. As a man and a citizen, he was no 
less conspicuous and useful than in the 
business world, and .contributed richly 
to the upbuilding of the community in 
which he lived. He was a friend to all 
of his employes, and was constantly 
mindful of the welfare of the least of 
them. He was prominent in church 
work, generous and unostentatious in 
many simple acts of charity, and left 
behind him a heritage of love and ven- 
eration that few men can boast.

Tree Planting on Rural School 
Grounds, by William L. Hall, Assist- 
ant Superintendent of Tree Planting, 
Bureau of Forestry, Washington, D. C. 
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 134, Government 
Printing Office, 1901. This publication 
is designed to arouse interest in the im- 
provement of school grounds, church- 
yards and cemeteries in rural communi- 
ties, and to suggest methods of accom- 
plishing the best results. It also sug- 
gests important lines of study for the 
teacher, and school in connection with 
trees and forests. As the work involved 
some consideration of landscape gar- 
dening which is outside the province of 
the government bureau, the paper was 
submitted to Mr. Frederick Law Olm- 
sted, jr., of Boston, for revision. The 
subject is treated under the following 
heads, and is illustrated by a number 
of views of trees and school grounds: 
Reasons for planting; Arbor Day and 
school ground planting; Preliminary 
arrangements for planting; What plant- 
ing to do; Kinds of trees to plant; Ob- 
taining the trees; How to plant them; 
Why trees die in transplanting; Care of 
Trees after planting; Studies for the 
teacher and school; and Facts about 
trees.
