GROWING THINGS.
The other day we noticed our
friend and neighbor, Mr. Charley
Bankston, setting out shade trees
about his beautiful little home.
He was not doing much work,
he was just putting out the trees.
Little Miss Sarah was doing the
work.
You who saw the operation may
question this statement, until you
reflect. Home building and home
beautifying is largely a matter of
inspiration. The thought of it is
ins epa ral4 y linked with the
thought of woman, the one woman
either of our dream or our acquain
tance.
It was Buskin who said that
woman is the home and “wherever
a true wife comes, this home is al
ways round her. The stars only
may be over her head; tin 1 glow
worm in the night-cold grass may
be the only fire at her foot; but
home is yet wherever she is; and
for a noble woman it stretches far
round her, bettef than ceiled with
cedar, or painted with Vermilion,
shedding its quiet light far, for
those who else were homeless.”
In the first years each furnishes
the inspiration for the other to
build and beautity, until the grind
of business and exacting house
hold duties seem to consume all
time and often to destroy all am
bition.
Then the new inspiration be
comes potent and a little child
gives youth anew to all about and
new hope, so that the building and
beautifying goes on and ceases
nevermore.
As we watched this tree plant
ing, we thought of the time ap
proaching when the fiercer rays
of the sun will he sifted and soft
ened through the shade, but the
tender sunshine of little Sarah’s
smile will he sufficient light. And
we thought we would observe the
growth of the tree and child and
see which should show the faster
growth.
And we thought of another
thing.
The parent seldom has to be re
minded to provide lovingly for his
children. But the state is parens
patriae, parent of all parents; and
the municipality is a branch of the
same.
In a large measure, a measure
involving great responsibility, all
the children here are our city’s
children. Have we the same solic
itude for their welfare as their indi
vidual parents.
The great majority of McDon
ough’s home owners are constantly
planting shade trees about their
premises and many go far enough
to plant them along the street at
their front doors. In this k ay
much of our city is beautifully
shaded, and a continual blessing
rests upon the planters.
But still there are long gaps of
glare in many streets where no
shade is.
Cannot our city remedy this? If
it cannot itself undertake tree
planting, it can offer such induce
ments to home owners as will
cause it to to be done.
way in which many towns
are doing it is to adopt an arbor day
as a day each year to be given to
public tree planting.
It is a beautiful and useful cus
tom. Let us consider it and adopt
it.
