The Public Schools Observe Arbor Day

Sixteen thrifty young trees now or
nament the Public School yard, which
before Arbor Day stood in a dense
thicket on the Mcmahon farm about
hree miles south of the city.
If an inquiry were made as to how
these trees were transplanted TO the
school yard, and how much it cost the
Board of Education, it would be found
that the pupils themselves did all the
hard manual labor connected with
such work, and that the only expense
to the Board of Education was the
drayage.
The large boys brought their axes
and spades, went to the woods for the
trees, and planted them, while all the
other pupils rendered equally valuable
services by making the day an enjoya-
bic occasion. 1t was, indeed, crafty
ing to note the enthusiasm mani
tested by all the classes alike, from
the lowest in the Primary department
to the highest in the High School.
After the trees were planted all the
schools assem- bled in the High School
room where appropriate exercises were
held. 1t was little crowded for all
in this room, but no one appeared to
mind it; in fact, every one seemed to
feel that it was good for teachers and
pupils TO see one another together in
one body.
The songs, recitations, and quota
tions were well rendered, and a spirit
of joy and happiness pervaded the
whole school. The contemplation of
the fresh vegetation appeared to
breathe new life into the school. All
seemed to realize that nature had put
on new robe and was laughing with
joy, and the knowledge of this beauty
in nature caused every one to rejoice
that the daily routine of school work
could be put aside for an Arbor Day.
At the close of the exercises the
pupils were surprised by treat from
Mr.. and Mrs. Il. G.. Farnsworth, con-
sisting of oranges, bananas and candy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farnsworth have always
shown great interest in the Public
School pupils, and this added proof of
their interest will not soon be for
gotten.

ArbOr Day Exercises at the State
Normal School.

The program of the Normal Arbor
issue of the JOURNAL was carried out
in manner highly satisfactory TO all
persons interested, there being no
break or mistake from beginning TO
end. which taking the short time
given TO making the preparation, was
highly creditable to the young people
who took part. Miss Bernice Roberts
announced the numbers of the pro-
gram. The essays were well prepared,
the select readings and recitations as
well as the music with which the pro-
gram was literally interspersed were
rendered in most attractive manner
and the talks by President Parker and
Prof. Ewing were decidedly interest
ing and instructive.
After the exercises within doors
were finished the audience consisting
largely Of students,-the rain early in
the afternoon having made the gen.
eral attendance of citizens all but
impossible, -removed under the direc-
tion of III. b. Wentz to the school y;rd
where a speech in honor of the Ele-
mentary class tree, willow, said TO
have been planted at some time be-
tween two days, was made by Miss
Ethel Grant. Her remarks were
laudatory and prophetic of great
things to be expected when their
small not but Insignificant tree should
have reached mighty proportions and
cast in the shade, literally and meta
phorically, the Senior maple at no
great distance away.
After an Elementary Class song,
the company moved to the Senior
tree where Mr. Will Mackin made a
brief but forcible speech concerning
the class and its tree, just planted,
and closed with the expression of the
hope that if the members of the class
were transplanted to new fields they
might grow and become strong in all
good and useful ways.
This closed the exercises of the day
The Model Schools had carried out
their program before that Of the
Normal Department, the recitations
by the little ones having drawn the
usual number of visitors anxious to
witness the happiness and good senti-
ment the children derive from such
exercises.
The influence of a day set apart as
Arbor Day for purposes of tree plant
ing and the incubation of whole
some sentiment relating to trees,
plants and flowers can hardly be
estimated. That the day may con-
tinue to be observed in this manner is
the wish of every thoughtful citizen.

Rev. and Mrs. Haun were present
at the Congregational church on Sun
day last and Mr.. Haun spoke in the
forenoon and Mrs. Haun at the
evening service. They represent the
Congregational Sunday School and
Publishing Society and gave interest
ing accounts OF their labcrs in con-
nection with that institution. Their
addresses were illustrated by sketches
Of places where their work had been
done, the especial point being the
exhibition OF the advances made in a
few months where schools had been
established. Services were held by
Mr. Haun at different country school
houses during the past week. Both
are interesting speakers and their
stories are FUN OF deep interest, as
they are deeply engaged in their work
and full OF sympathy with those
places deprived OF The benefits of
Sunday School training Quite liberal
collections were taken up during the
day for the benefit Of the Society,
