Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tree Growing in the Public Schools T ree-study and tree-growing comprise a special phase of nature study and gardening. Gardening is one kind of manual work that is possible in some degree for every school. Moreover it is found to offer the most in interest, opportunity and educational value of all manual work when properly conducted, while it can be correlated with most of the other studies to great advantage. Children have studied about trees in school for years. As a part of nature - study the work with trees has been largely confined to practice in identification and to observation of life histories, together with stories about trees in lower grades, and, rarely, elementary forestry from books and bulletins in upper grades. This is good as far as'it goes, but it lacks the one thing essential to vital teaching. Boys and girls should learn to grow trees. Then they will have a sound basis for intelligent appreciation of the economic importance of trees. We have made pupils learn dry facts about lumbering long enough. Now let us have them first understand what it means to grow trees for lumber and we shall see the next generation more intelligent on the great subject of conservation.

Download or read book The Giving Tree written by Shel Silverstein and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit. And don't miss the other Shel Silverstein ebooks, Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic!
Download or read book Forest Nurseries for Schools Classic Reprint written by Walter M. Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Nurseries for Schools In, recent years there has been evident a decided movement toward the introduction of nature study and elementary agriculture into the regular work of the public schools. One of the most popular and interesting features of this movement has been the school garden. The large number Of schools, both rural and city, which have estab lished gardens, and the volume of literature which has been con tributed on this subject, attest the importance and success which the school garden has achieved in the educational world. Hitherto most school gardens have been devoted exclusively to the growing of common garden vegetables and flowering plants, with here and there the introduction of new species as an additional incen tive to interest. One of the chief difficulties encountered has been that most of the plants and vegetables suitable for cultivation and demonstration purposes required by the school work mature or reach their most interesting stages at' a season when the school is ordinarily closed for vacation. Another thing which has tended to make much schqyl-garden work somewhat unsatisfactory is that after the work is o ce done no visible, tangible results are evident, and apparently no lasting good is accomplished other than the instruction given and the knowledge Of plant life which may have been acquired.

Download or read book Growth in Trees Classic Reprint written by D. t. Macdougal and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Growth in Trees A tree may be considered as a tall cone of wood terminating in leafy expanses. The base of the cone is subdivided into myriads Of rootlets, through the surfaces of which the soil-solutions enter, and the water, passing upward, is transpired from the leaves. The trunk of a tree is largely composed of dead cells, but inclosing it is a thin sheet of spindle-form cambium cells1 in 2 to 10 or more layers, which in the growing season enlarge in thickness and divide lengthwise, those on the outside becoming transformed into cork and phloem and those on the inner into wood cells and vessels. Extending from the center of the trunk are thin sheets or rays of the medulla or pith Of the young stem. The most recently formed cells of these elements are still living and in some trees the medullary cells remain alive for several years, so that the woody cylinder Of the tree may comprise wood-cells or tracheids, vessels, and thin-wall ray cells, some of which are alive. External to the cambium are sieve cells, bast fibers, etc., and cork cells, inclosed in a bark which varies widely as to structure in different species.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tree Planting on Rural School Grounds A great number of schoolhouses in the United States lack the sur roundings that make for comfort and contentment. City school grounds are often so small that planting is out of the question, though, where Space permits, it is not uncommon to find them carefully laid out, with a good arrangement of grass plots, flower beds, and shade trees. In towns and villages, also, may be pointed out many exam ples showing great care and attention. In the country, however, an improved school ground is rarely found. In hilly, forest regions they are often denuded of soil and full of stones and stumps, and on the prairie many are well-nigh as bare, bleak, and inhospitable as when they formed a part of the unsettled plain.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experimental Tree Planting in the Plains The experimental plantings herein described in detail are given not only as a record Of the beginnings Of an important work, but as indi cating what are believed to be useful mixtures Of trees for planting in the West. Sufficient time has not elapsed, even in the Oldest plantings described, for final conclusions to be drawn; but the notes on kinds will be found of interest in connection with the experiments, and the whole is believed to afford a basis for selection Of trees for the various States included in the treeless area. While this bulletin has to do primarily with Western planting, it may be found a safe guide in many directions for forest planting within the timbered regions Of the country, especially as to general principles involved. Experiments in planting in cut-over lands in the pineries Of Minnesota and Pennsylvania have been begun by the Department, but are not yet sufficiently advanced to warrant even a progress report.

When I was a boy, it was not so easy to learn as it is now; there were not so many schools, and people did not think so much about giving their children a good education, and more than all this, there' were not a quarter so many good books written and printed for young folks as there are now. But seat your selves here in the shade, and I will try to think of something useful to talk about, with you.

Download or read book The School Book of Forestry written by Charles Lathrop Pack and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School Book of Forestry by Charles Lathrop Pack The trees of the forest grow by forming new layers of wood directly under the bark. Trees are held upright in the soil by means of roots which reach to a depth of many feet where the soil is loose and porous. These roots are the supports of the tree. They hold it rigidly in position. They also supply the tree with food. Through delicate hairs on the roots, they absorb soil moisture and plant food from the earth and pass them along to the tree. The body of the tree acts as a passage way through which the food and drink are conveyed to the top or crown. The crown is the place where the food is digested and the regeneration of trees effected.
