ArbOr and Highway Day.

The Governor in a proclamation sets
apart April Is as 'Arbor and Highway
Day. and earnestly requests that the
people of this State appropriately observe
the day by the planting Of trees and
shrubbery on schoolhouse and other pub
lie grounds and along the public high
ways, and also by such literary exercises
in the public schools as will serve to in
still into the minds of the youth of this
State love for our birds and respect
for the laws especially enacted for their
preservation. To this end suggest that
the county school boards of the State
furnish their teachers with copies of the
game laws applicable to their respective
counties and that the State Superinten-
dent of Public Education include in his
Arbor and Bird Day brochure copy of
the recently widely published letter of the
State Game Warden entitled "A Plea for
Song Birds that it may be read in every
school. If our people will observe this
day in the proper spirit it will go far to
ward overcoming the evil effects result
ing from the rapid destruction of the
forests and birds of Maryland"
