The Mayors address was as 0elow :
thjlIre" This is the first time have en-
ioyed the pleasure of addressing an assem-
blage OF children as large as this You are con-
gregated under call from the Governor of the
State to plant trees III this schoolyard not
for the immediate value which those trees
produce but for impressing upon you the
idea that it is absolutely necessary to plant
trees to replenish those which are cut from
our forests, often lavishly and ncedessly.
God, the greatest planter, has gwen forests
for the benefit of man, beasts and birds. We
are using the trees for building houses, fences,
bridges, furniture. The birds build their
nests in them, make their homes in them, fly
in and out, but always come back, the same
as it is or will be with you. You may 20 out
into the wider world, but always come back
where your home is. If we do not replant
our forests we soon will he without wood, or
get it from distances and pay dearly for it,
In Germany, where ! came from, they have
schools where young men are learning how to
plant trees and cultivate forests. The forests
are guarded and kept Clcan-as clean Us our
pavcments. What would those people do for
wood if for so many years the forests had
been cut down and nothing replantcd? But
SO many trees are sold yearly, and Just as ma
ny planted. We haye, it appears learned
how glad would the people lie who live in the
deserts or out west on the prairies if they had
forests. Aud again; In Europe, on both
sides of highways, are planted fruit trees
The crops are sold to the highest bidders and
the proceeds used for keeping up the roads.
Is there anything more pleasing than tree
laden with cherries, apples, pears or peaches:
Is there anything more beneficial than fruit
Why not plant fruit trees God has alsc
plauted in you a heart in which you should
love your neighborS, your parents and yOuI
teachers-who are next to your parents IN
taking care of you. He means IT well with
YOU and does not QvertaN your mental capac
ity. And in later days when you meet one
another love and friendship will be warmed
when you find that you together planted
trees i'll the Frostburg school yard.
Now, children, hope you will take always
the advice of your parents and teachers and
grow up into good women and men,
