SCHOOI,   GROUNDS,
In journeying about the state one is
very forcibly reminded of the great difference in the tastes of people concern rig
the decoration of school grounds. In
many cities and villages the school buildings and the sohool premises make the
most attractive square in the place, while
in others—very few, we are happy to say
—there seei-as to havo beon very little
done in the line of decoration. In some
of these the school house stands ,ou a
bleak and barren lot, with not the sign
of a shiub or tree to relieve, the bold outline or afford conaforting shade in summer.
It is, however, in the country districts
that we find, the greatest amount of
neglect in this particular. Few, proportionately, are the' districts: that seem to
have the slightest regard for the looks of
the school grounds. Oft times- in the
selection of a site where there has been
no attention paid to the health, comfort
and happiness of the pupils. Tumbled
down fences, entire absence of shade
trees, slovenly wood piles, disreputable
out buildings, arc* too often the characteristics of the school premises in districts
that are supposedly ehristoin in tbeir
civilization uud progressive in their tendencies. *
Although Arbor Day hue been very
frequently observed by the schools, its
influences have not been feli yet in a
large number of of the country districts.
There should be an attempt mado at
once to arouse public sentimt-nt on this
subject, and we nppe'd to the teachers of
the county to aid us in the work. Let-
trees be set out, climbing vint-s placed
near the building, and, when possible,
let flowers be planted. All these are
civilizing factors UL.d help to make better
citizens of the girls and boys in our
schools. Ihe Interior adornments of the
school room sbonici also receive careful
attention. By very little effort, and at
small expense, fine engravings of onr
fatnouB statesmen, soldiers and literary
men may be procured with whioh to
adorn the walls of the school room, and
'has help to educate the eliildran.-
Lefc every teacher set apart a day for
the special purpose of securing funds
and creating sentiment for school room
decorations. Let school boards paper
and kalsomine the rooms, and teachers

stone walks being now laid there for
twelve cents per square foot. The
Journal says it is a progressive ordinance on the part of the village and
urges the citizens to take advantage
of it, as under tbe new ordinance
stone walks will cost but little more
than plank ones, and in a few years
will be much cheaper. Nothing contributes more to the metropolitan appearance of a town than stone walks.
Some weeks ago George W. Stone,
formerly county clerk of Clare county,
who was a member of the First Sharpshooters which captured the flag of
the Petersburg Grays, in 1865, started
a movement among tbe members of
the former regiment looking to the return of tbe flag as a graceful recognition of the gallent services of the
"Virginia company in the recent war as
■well as of the wiping out of all lines
between tbe north and south. Both
Souses of the legislature have passed a
resolution consenting to the return of
•the flag and naming Gen, Stone as
ihe Michigan representative of the
Grays. The latter organization was
organized long before the civil war,
and the flag In question was presented
to tho organization by the ladies of
Petersburg in 1858,
