THE SUNKEN GARDEN.
To the Editor. Sir, —It is* a poor return for the selfdenial exercised by the Park School pupils in connection with the plot of ground opposite the school that they should now be accused of destroying the trees recently planted there. They were accustomed, before the Beautifying Society began operations, to make a short cut across the paddock to the school. When it was pointed out that doing this would destroy the banks that were being formed they took the longer route by the footpath. A good deal of watchfulness has been exercised in this matter by the members of the staff, and it has been a rare occurrence to find a pupil straying across the ground. When the trees were planted recently I took occasion to speak to the school children again concerning the work of the Beautifying Society, and X am confident that they are not the vandals. —I am, etc., JAMES HAIN. Park School. Ist Oct., 1913.
