ARBoR OAR exercises, observed in accord'
ance with the proclamation Of Governor
Perry, setting apart the 10th day OF Feb
ruary last to that purpose, as made by
State Superintendent, A. J. Russell. 1t
speaks well for the ready aud enterpris-
ing spirit Of our school officers, teachers
and school children, and doubtless has
given birth to sentiment in the hearts
and minds Of all that will be lasting and
highly beneficial. We heartily join in
the wish for the perpetuation of the DAY

Governor f. A. Perry:
SIR: deem 1t great pleasure to be able 10
report to your excellency the almost universal
enthusiasm aud deep interest with which the
school children, officers, teachers and patrons OF
the public schools participated in the observance
and exercises of ARBoR DAY in accordance with
your proclamation, setting apart February 10th
to the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers.
My official correspondence with The various
County Superintendent and other school officers
indicate a thorough accord OF spirit in almost
every county the State, and is an exhibition OF
the cheerful readiness with which the people OF
Florida, old and youag, embrace and enter into
every sentiment and emotion calculated TO awake
and exercise the sublimer and lofier parts of our
being not only school yards, but many church
homes, and many of the last resting places of
the dead are reported as cleaned, trees planted,
and the cherished spots otherwise beaulified and
adorned.
have requested the County Superintendent
of each county to report to me the aggregate
number of children participating, the number of
trees planted, the number of parents and citizens
taking part in the delightful exercises of the
day, and regret very much that up TO this time
l have failed to receive such reports from all the
counties, for | have every reason to believe ii
would be very gratifying TO you to know of the
large number OF cheerful happy children in the
State responding to the call of their honored
Governor.
The scattered aud widespread situations Of
the schools, and the remoteness in many in
stances from post-offices, will to great extent
explain the very long delay in receiving many OF
these reports.
/ have determined, however, to report as many
as have received and will make a supplement-
airy report when all the counties shall have been
heard from. The following arc the counties re-
ported to date:

ance, even sympathy, are not ready to
