SUGGESTIONS
FOR ARBOR DAY


The second and last Spring Arbor Day
for this wear occurs tomorrow, April Is,
and the following suggestions have been
made for the observance of the day in
the schools:
There should be some appropriate
music, and, where possible, some dis
play of plants and flowers Poems and
prose selections bearing directly or in
directly ON the subject may be read and
recited.
Arbor Day furnishes an excellent op-
portunity for teachers to call the atten-
ton of their pupils to such outdoor
books as the following: The works of
John Burroughs, the works of Bradford
Torrey, the works of Henry David
Thoreau the works of Hamilton w.
Gibson, the works of Richard Jetferies,
Gilbert Whites History of Selborne,
etc Teachers themselves should have
some acquaintance with these books and
be able to use them III their schools.
Forest Leaves, a little periodical pub
lished bi-monthly at 1912 Walnut street
Philadelphia, Pa, contains many artl-
cles about trees that could be read to
schools with great profit. Forestry and
Irrigation is another publication of the
same kind.
The following subjects may be dis
cussed in essays, talks or debates: Origin
of Arbor Day; choice of trees for plant
ing how trees should be cared fOr;etfects
on Pennsylvania of the removal of for
ests; how forests prevent floods; how
forests prevent drouths how forests
protect the animals, birds, and fishes.
Let the pupils make lists Of trees for
building, for furniture etc, furnishing
tibres, gums, drugs, etc: fruit trees,
shade trees, nut trees, etc.
Let the pupils vote on the shade tree
that they like best and on the flower
that they think should be the state
