The follow- ing will interest grandmothers. Things Our Grandmothers Missed Gone, but not forgotten, are those good old days, when our grand- mothers were girls, and we have noted many changes, some for the better and some otherwise, such as: The social unrest among our young people of today, while our grand- mothers were content with visiting some afternoon, in her .stiff white apron, especially if it was hand sewn with many frills and wide band around the waist, and long ties, which to their taste, be tied in a neat little bow. They would stay for supper, not dinner. While visiting her knit- ting needles flew back and forth. In some homes cards were allowed and grown-ups would indulge in a game of euchre, or that new fangled game of Pedro. After cards, singing was next in order, the host being the first to respond. After having refused through courtesy, he usually yielded to his wife's coaxing and sang, and each guest in turn would sing. Winters were passed by a number of parties being held, not "thrown". They were big and for the young people and did not include dancing, but games of "Rachel and Jacob", "Blind Man's Buff," and "Wild Irish man", finally ending with musical chairs. After that the party ended with eats, such as sometimes sand- wiches, always sponge cake or rail- road cake and raspberry vinegar, as (continued on front page) BACKACHE A SYMPTOM of faulty kidneys.

(Prices lower than the lowest, quality TREES FOR TOWN AND RURAL SCHOOLS By ARTHUR HERBERT RICHARDSON, in "Forest and Outdoors" * What a world of difference there is between a country schoolhouse framed in graceful drooping elms, with flowers skirting the sidewalks and entrance, and sweet-smelling shrubbery peeping in at the windows, and a schoolhouse which lacks tree growth of any kind, is cluttered up with weeds and presents an unkept front. Each prints a lesson indelibly on the minds of the pupils. . A schoolhouse with trees and flowers has a beneficial effect upon the children who go there. Beautiful surroundings make it more easy for the children to learn their lessons. This, of course, cannot be proven by figures, but consid- ered from the aesthetic point of view, it is true because anything that is made easy of approach unconsciously quickens the receptive powers of the mind. : A child's training for life's work is begun in . ° the home and continued in the school, and this training is the result of direct effort on the part of the parent and the teacher. Consequently, the surroundings in these two places are far more important than we think, but, unfortunate- ly, they are often neglected. The persons responsible, of course, for the school property are the members of the school board, but in most cases this responsibility ends with complying strictly to the departmental re- quirements so that any frills (as they are some- times called), such as trees, flower beds and shrubbery, must be proposed and carried to fruition by the teacher. In this work, however, in many cases the teacher will not have to stand alone, for in most communities an organization such as the Women's Institute or the Horticultural Society will lend a helping hand. It may not be necessary to make a formal plan of the property on paper, showing - the location of trees it is proposed to plant, but if the improvement work is to include windbreaks, flower beds, and shrubbery, it would be prefer- able to draw up a rough sketch showing the location in a general way of these different im- provements. If the work is to be limited only to tree-planting, and this article is intended primarily for guidance in such work, then the first thing to consider is the kind of planting you need. : We ME When planning to beautify the school grounds in this way, a few things should be kept in mind. Do not plant trees all over the property. As a general principle, the front of the property, that is, the part nearest the road, shoud be left open, except where it is planned to lay out flower beds and shrubbery. By keeping trees and shrubbery away from the front of the property, the general appearance of the school and its surroundings can be greatly improved. The sides of the property, corners and spaces occupied by outhouses should take most of the trees. Then, showing suggested treatment. Having protective along each side of the pruce at the back ; outhouses hidden with trees, En schoolhouse rdwoods and shrubbery specimens on the playing grounds. green trees around the outside of the property excepting, of course, the front. Such planting will involve first of all the ploughing 98 spain of a strip of land six to eight feet wide. This will' have to be worked up. thoroughly, after which the trees will be planted. 8 yl of the windbreak, that.is, whether - property; a wind- | and a few single and three to four for spruce. if the property is large enough, one or two single specimens should be planted near the schoolhouse proper "for shade purposes. (a) Single Trees. "These may be planted along the fence line and in the corners and with one or two good specimens, as already sug- gested, close to 'the school- house. When planting single specimens, . care must be taken not to plant the trees too close together or too near any one building. When trees are small, twenty-five or thirty feet apart seems a good distance, but when these same trees are 26 years old, if they are closer than 80 feet they will inter- fere with one another's growth and the limbs of those near the building most likely will have to be trim- med off. Do not, therefore, plant single specimens closer than thirty feet apart. The planting of single trees is the simplest kind of beautification to carry out, and if time is limited, this type of planting is recom- mended as a' start. (b) Windbreak Planting. By this is meant the plant- ing of one or two rows of The foregoing planting .distances apply to .windbreak work only, where the trees will be "allowed to grow without trimming. If a hedge desired, then only one row need be planted and the trees may be spaced two feet apart for cedar (8) From a government nursery. The easiest: ay for a school teacher or school board to secure trees for beautifying the school grounds is to apply to the government department of the pro- "vince in which the school is located, which looks spruce, cedar or other ever- .
