"The program which we have pre-
pared for Arbor day is not intended to
contain all that may be done in the
observance of the day, but is merely
suggestive. We have included so much
subject matter for the reason that
very many of the rurul schools have
not access to the proper material for
the preparation of an Arbor day pro-
gram.
1--WE trust that each and every
teacher in the state will do all in her
power to make Arbor day, 1903, one
long to be remembered and one which
shall be productive OF very great good.
Following is the program suggested
for use in the schools in observing the
day:
Song-"Like Glad Birds of Spring
time."
Reading-Governor's proclamation.
Reading-Law creating Arbor day.
Music.
Observation-Disclosures S letter.
Essay-Subject from list of subjects
given.
Recitation-"Montana's Flower"
Recitation-"The Bitter Root
Song to Arbor day.
Story of Trees-To be written bv
pupils.
Recitation-''Planting Trees" by
four boys.
Naming state flowers.
Recitation-"Whisperers.''
Recitation-''The Bumble- Bee.''
Vocal music.
Quotation-By each pupil.
Remarkably visitors and teacher.
Planting of the trees.
Song -"America.

SESSION
Governor To0le Calls legislators
Back to Make Appropriation
for st. Louis.

Governor J. X. Toole Wednesday
afternoon issued proclamation call
ing an extraordinary session of the
legislature to meet at the capital May
26 to appropriate money for a state
exhibit at the St. Louis fair and to
provide funds for maintaining the cap
itol building and grounds.
The call was issued at the sugges-
tion of many members of the legisla-
ture. Several weeks ago the Record
undertook to ascertain the sentiment of
the lawmakers on the subject, at the
| same time advising the session. All
Eighth leg islative assembly heard from
favored the extra session for the pur-
pose of providing for a state exhibit at
the Louisiana purchase exposition and
to meet the president, who will visit
the state the latter part of the month.
Except four, all the members heard
from, which included all of the senator's
and very large majority of the house,
agreed to serve without per diem or
mileage in the event an extra session
was called. Governor Toole had since
been notified by many members of their
desire for the session.
President Roosevelt will visit the
capital May 26 and without doubt will
meet the Montana lawmakers and
make an address to them in joint ses-
sion at the capitol.
The following is the proclamation:
Proclamation converting the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session.
Pursuant to the power vested in me
by section II of article 7 Of the constitu-
ton, l hereby convene the legislature
in extraordinary session at the capitol
in the city of Helena on the 10th day of
May, 1908, at 10 O'Clock a. m. for the
following purposes:
First-To appropriate a sufficient
sum of money to collect and install and
properly exhibit in a state building or
otherwise the resources of this state at
the forthcoming Louisiana purchase
exposition, to be held at St. Louis,
Mo-, in 1904.
Second-+o appropriate a sufficient
sum of money to pay the actual and
necessary expenses of maintaining tine
capitol building and grounds for the
fiscal year of 1908 and 1904.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state, this sixth day of May,
one thousand nine hundred and three.
BY the governor, J. X. TOoLE.
GEORGE M. HAYS, Secretary of State.

The New Envelopes,

The new stamped envelope which has
been in preparation in the postoffice
department for several months past has
been made ready for issue and is now
being distributed to the postoffices
throughout the country. The envelope
is in four denomnations--1c cent, cent,
cent and 5 cent. The change made
is very great, and, it is believed by the
officials who have had the matter in
charge, is great improvement. The
stamps on all the envelopes are differ
ent shapes. The cent envelope has a
green stamp in the form of a perfect
circle about an inch in diameter. The
bust of Franklin in white is the central
figure. The cent stamp is oval in
shape. It is brick-red and bears the
bust of Washington in white. This
stamp is about one and one-fourth by
one inch in size. The stamp on the
4 cent envelope is about one and one
fourth inches square, and is brown.
1t bears the portrait of General Grant
in white. The 5 cent envelope is
shaped like an ellipse. 1t is blue and
bears the portrait of Lincoln in white.
The portraits on all the stamps are
all larger than those used at present,
except the and 5 cent varieties, and
have less decoration.

Mr.. Donis, President of School Board
Hereafter graduates of the Forsyth
high school may enter the collegiate
department of the Montana university
without examination, for by a recent
action on the part of the state board of
education the high school of Forsyth
has been placed upon the accredited
list.
The state board was appealed to in
this matter over year ago and their
final action is probably due to the
recent visit of State Superintendent
Welch and o. J. Craig, president of
the Montana university at Missoula,
when they found that our school was
entitled to the credit asked for, it hav-
ing sufficient amount expended in a
laboratory and two teachers who devote
their entire time to high school work,
two of the potent requirements neces-
sary to be placed upon the accredited
list.
Prof. Henry V. Beeman has received
the folio wing communication from
President Craig of the state board of
education and the Montana university
the matter:
''The high school of Forysth was
today placed upon the accredited list.
Any graduate of your high school is
entitled to enter the Collegiate Depart
ment of the university without exami-
nation on presention of diploma and a
certificate signed by the superintend-
ent.
Yours very truly,
OSCAR J. CRAIG,
President.
This will be good news to the people
of Rosebud county Tor it augurs well
for the efficiency of our schools and
does away with the necessity of gradu-
tes from the high school taking an ex-
before entering state uni
versities.
