Arbor Day Exercises.

On Arbor Day the pupils at hepublic
school were assembled in the open air in
front of the school building; and there
songs, recitations and readings were rem
dered, extoling the granduer, beauty and
usefulness of our forest trees. Inter
mingled with the praise of pine and oak
were words for the feathery songsters
that lend enchantment to the groves with
color and with song The birds and
trees were both remembered. For what
forest would be complete without the
futter of wings and the burst Of merry
song? After whetting the edge of the
mental appetite with a number of these
selections, the school proceeded to com
memorate the forest in a more substan-
tial way by planting trees. The regula-
tion cottonwood, the apple, the peach,
and the maple. Who knows but what
future school children OF Lamar may en-
joy the fruit of some of these?
