Friday, March 9th, has been chosen
as Arbor Day for the city schools. The
exercises, besides the tree planting
will consist of flag salutes, singing and
recitations. Each room will purchase
it's own tree, and is expected to care
for it during the rest of the school
year. AS q result of all this it is hoped
that the pupils will take greater pride
than hitherto in caring for the school
grounds. The children themselves are
already much enthused over the cele
