Preparation for Consular Service.

Some time ago the Mothers Association
of st. Paul Cathedral. Cincinnati, addressed
a number OF letters to United States con-
suls, asking their opinion as to the value
OF the United States consular service as a
career for young Americans, and the proper,
education of boys for that line Of work.
Probably. the most notable return is that
from United States Consul Skinner at Mar
seilles Mr.. Skinner takes up the subject of
the inquiry to show that present efforts

to educate young men for the consular
service amount to nothing. He looks for
ward to the time when boys VIII be chosen
for a consular career as they are now Sc
lected for the military and naval acade-
mics, but he fears that it will require nifty
or a hundred years to bring the service TO
that point. The consul enters in detail into
the amenities Of such life as his. and his
report, altogether, is a strong argument
for consular reform.

ARBOR DAY
WILL BE OBSERVED BY TN
SCHOOLS m THIS STATE ON
APRIL II.
Asks Teachers and School
omesrs to Encourage the Move
meut

ThOs. C. Miller, state superintendent
of schools, has designated Friday, April
| Il, 1903, as ArbOr Day in West Virginia.
he has issued the following circular:
Friday, April IL, 1908, is hereby des,
ignated as Arbor Day to be observed by
the schools of West Virginia this spring
It is suggested that teachers and school
officers encourage the movement to beau.
tify and adon not only the school
grounds, but the home premises as well
The barren, treeless front yards and I'M
inviting surrounding of many houses are
strong arguments in favor of such good
work.
AS heretofore suggested, shrubs, an
nuals and dubious plants may be put out
to decided advantage in school grounds,
while vines, climbing roses and elematis
are no more out of place in the school
yard than in the home grounds.
Another feature of Arbor Day that
is being emphasized in many places is
the planting of shade trees along the
public highways. In some sections, too,
the commercial idea is linked with Ar
Dor Day work in planting waste places
in trees for future lumber and fuel
supply, while thousands of nut trees are
being set out, which viii not only make
glad the heart Of many a body in the
middleofthe century, but put dollars into
the pockets of the owners of such trees.
4 trust that Arbor Day may bring
joy to all who take part in its obser-
vance and lasting good to future gencr.
