We copy the following from a circu-
lar issued by Richard c. Barrett, sup
erlntendent of public instruction, to
the teachers and pupils and Boards OF
Directors. For the observance of Ar
Dor Day he has failed to give that
suitable program that has character
lied all previous announcements:
count it a rare privilege to re-
commend the observance of General
Grants birthday, April 9th, as Arbor
Day. The observance of this day
should serve to instlll into the minds
and hearts of the children in our pub
lie schools, a genuine love of nature in
her many forms; it should also result
III the planting of many trees, and the
general improvement ofschool grounds
by boards of directors. The accom-
plishment of these purposes is greatly
to be desired. Nearly 10 per cent of
the children of Iowa attend school in
the country and for this reason the
grounds should be made more attrac-
tive by the planting of trees, shrubs
and vines. [ would urge you in all
cases to protect the trees already
planted. Where beginning has been
made, let the work be extended.
Where the school grounds are unat-
tractive, let the first steps be taken to
convert the barren plot into a place of
beauty. Trees planted this year might
most appropriately be named for Gen
eral Y. s. Grant, and those who were
closely associated with him in military
and civil life. Exercises of character
suited to the occasion should be
planned by the teacher, thus making
1t one OF enjoyment and profit to all.
Arbor Day has become quite general
holiday, and [ think it may, under
the guidance of the teacher, prove
most interesting. The children, under
proper leadership, will gladly aid in
all of the work of improving the school
premises. With the hope that the day
may be one of joy and gladness
throughout the state, am, yours for
the planting of trees and the beautify.

Asked what he thought Of the cabled re-

clare for war conformity against China, the
Amba ssador said:
81 think it is very likely. Both countries
have the same cause for war, and both
would have a common cause for acting
together
He did not think partition would be
made of China and said on this subject:
II do not think that the powers will
divide China. The condition that meats
them now is the pacification of the country.
There is no talk of partition in Germany
and I do not believe there will be any on
