Arbor Day, which proved quite popular
holiday throughout the State, was not forgot
ten in Sykesville. Trees and shrubbery OF all
kind were planted, and for the school children
it was a picnic. At the public school here
they had recitations in the morning, with
tree planting, followed in the afternoon by a
fishing party. all led by the popular young
teacher. Miss Lula Nernay. We hope by next
Arbor Day to see a school house OF ample
size and in keeping with the improvements OF
the place. The present school house has
really too much shade around it, all the trees
had better be cut down so the public could
see the shabby structure.
