Ryan 534 John Davey's great contribution to America John Davey was born in England, June 6, 1846, at a time when there were no public schools. This hardy and humble genius was twenty-one before he knew his A B C's. So he started in as a full grown young man to learn to read by the slow and painful process of self-education. He began with a little copy of the New Testament and a small dictionary, picking out one word at a time. Later he acquired a grammar so that he might put the words together properly, meanwhile studying horticulture and landscape gardening during a full apprenticeship at Torquay, England. Then he heard the call of America, this great land of freedom and opportunity; and, like millions of other sturdy sons of Europe, he came here to work out his destiny. He pursued his education still further, working by day and studying by night, until he acquired an education that would do credit to the majority of college graduates. Perhaps one of the most striking things about him was the fact that he became one of the finest Americans. He learned every word of our Constitution. He learned every word of every verse of America and the Star Spangled Banner; and, until old age laid its heavy hand upon him, he could sing those songs with a zeal that was good to see. He became a full citizen at the first opportunity under our law, and to him it was a sacred day when he raised his right hand and JOHN DAVEY, Father of Tree Surgery, "Do it right or not at all" forswore allegiance to the British crown and swore allegiance to the Constitution and the flag of America. And always, during his fifty years of life in his adopted country whenever he passed by Old Glory, he would tip his hat in veneration. John Davey saw with eyes of understanding the appalling neglect and butchery of America's trees, and he set out to find a way -a systematic, scientific way—to save them, little dreaming that a great business would be developed on the science that his love and genius created. And thus came into being the wonderful profession of Tree Surgery. His first book, The Tree Doctor, was published in 1901, and then began the gradual development of The Davey Tree Expert Company, incorporated in 1909, doing a business of nearly $2,000,000 in 1925, and now having in the field nearly 700 master Tree Surgeons, all carefully selected, thoroughly trained, properly disciplined, and regularly supervised, and giving superior service to the tree owners of America. For twenty years the business of this institution has been managed by his son, Martin L. Davey, whose highest aim has been to perpetuate the ideals and philosophy of his pioneer father. John Davey, though not now living, still lives in the spirit and purpose of the magnificent service that he rendered his adopted country-he taught the American people to think in terms of the living tree. Greater even than his creation of the invaluable science of Tree Surgery is his contribution as the apostle of the tree as a living thing.

PULSIFER, President and Managing Editor ERNEST HAMLIN ABBOTT, Editor-in-Chief and Secretary Free for All A Rear-Admiral Rises to Inquire RE EFERRING to the editorial, in your issue of April 7, "A Question Not Asked," in regard to prohibition conditions, there is another question which should be askedthis: In view of the fact that on April 30, 1923, the Supreme Court handed down a decision to the effect that transportation of liquors, sealed or unsealed, sea stores or otherwise, within the territorial waters of the United States is prohibited transportation in the sense of the Eighteenth Amendment and of the Volstead Law, and in view of the further fact that in 1924 our Executive negotiated and our Senate confirmed a treaty with Great Britain whereby the said prohibited transportation is allowed, protected, and required, is it possible to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment so long as the enforcement authorities, in obedience to the highest law in the land, must and do nullify that Amendment every day? What is the answer? Washington, D. C. A W. The Trouble with Seitz IBALL. STORY is told of an Irishman who applied to the judge for a divorce. Asked on what grounds he wanted to petition for a divorce, he said his wife talked too much. When asked what she talked about, he said, "Faith an' she doesn't say." This is the trouble with Don C. Seitz's article "The United Universe Corporation," in the April 7 number of The Outlook. To tell another story illustrative of the article: A certain preacher had a habit of taking his text and leaving it to talk about whatever came into his mind as he spoke. One of his parishioners, exasperated, one day offered his pastor five dollars if he would take a text and stick to it. The preacher accepted the parishioner's offer, and the following Sunday announced the disconnected phrase, from one of Paul's writings, "Much in every way," as his text. That's the trouble with Seitz. Somebody said to Paul once, "Much learning doth make thee mad." Maybe that is the trouble with Seitz. But if anybody finds out what he was talking about in "The United Universe Corporation," I hope he will tell us. In writing to the above advertiser please mention The Outlook |
