STATE or VERMONT,
A ProcIamationby Carroll $. Page, Gov

Tho custom Of a pointing day in each year
as Arbor day is growing in popular favor. The
benefits resulting from the planting Of shade
trees and ornamental shrubs are manifest
that there is little doubt that the day will soon
be as gen orally observed rs our tlme-honored
Thanksgiving.
The picturesque beauty of Nermonts scenery
is everywhere recognized, and that beauty
constitutes no iuconsidcrable portion of our
material wealth; and were We Influenced by no
other than selfish motives, II day in spring
time devoted to leudIug nature a helping hand
in tie work of keeping oar hillsides and val
lcys gre ON and of Identifying our state, would
be most prohtably spent. But higher purer
sentiment, a patriotic desire To transmit 10 our
children, improved by our efforts and occu-
should prompt Us to ttuugly observe this day.
! therefore designate Friday, May ID, 1892, as
Arbor day, and earnestly recommend that the
day he devoted to the planting " trees and
shrubs in the public parks. along our rUadways
aud around our home. especially urge that
the day he observed 10y the schools throughout
the state rs u holiday and that the teachers
organize their schools into bands IF workers,
that the best results may be thereby secured.
