ARB0R DAY
In THE SCHOOLS

Apropos Of the proclamation of Gov.
ernor Pennypaoker designating April
14th and 28th as Spring Arbor DAYS an
ex-school director of town yesterday
remarked upon the apparent lack of
any practical observance of the day in
Danville. He recalls the time. fifteen
to twenty years ago, when arbOr day
meant a good deal of work not only
for teacher and pupils, but also for the
school directors. While the two form.
er we're arranging programs and re
hearsing for the event it devolved up
on the school board to procure the
trees, and to have a place prepared for
planting them, which involved not
only the digging Of the holes but also
the oarting Of fertile soil to the spot
| in which to embed the tender roots.
Arbor day itself was to all intents and
purposes holiday in school. All the
] grades participated in the exercises.
There was always an address bearing
on Forestry and the deplorable results
following the destruction of forests,
while not the least interesting feature
| of the program was the actual plant.
ing of the trees. the work of which to
the smallest detail was done by the
pupils under the supervision of the
principal or one of the directors. A
program of recitation and singing, ap.
propriate to the matter in hand was
rendered by the boys and girls begin
ming in the school room and ending ON
the grounds outside where the glad
some acclaim of children's voices or
more likely an appropriate song kept
time to the shovelfuls of earth as they
rained down upon the roots Of the
trees being planted. Similar scenes at
the same hour we're being enacted at
each of the four school buildings in
the borough. Very many of our men
and women approaching middle life
today, then pupils at the public schools.
| will recall the old-time Arbor Days.
In the aggregate scores Of trees were
planted on the school properties alone
and it is reflection either upon the
care accorded the growing shade trees
or the lack of adaptability on the part
of the soil, more probably the latter,
that scarcely one of the trees planted
en- Arbor Days Of the past are stand.
ing at the present time.
The latter fact is held responsible
for the change in the manner of the
days observance in Danville. 1t is a
fact, it is said, that each of the sciIooI
buildings occupy sites where an i'm
mense amount of filling up was requir
ed at one time or another, oinder OF
gravel being employed in large quanti-
ties. Planting of trees on Arbor Day,
whatever might be said of it's value as
an object lesson, or as a source of in
spirstion to the pupils SO far as seour-
ing any immediate or practical results
in forestry is concerned. became sheer
waste of time. Actual tree planting,
therefore, has been eliminated from
Arbor Day observance in Danville.
Upon inquiry, however, it is learned
that traditions are kept up by the rem
deriDg of programmes appropriate to
the event in nearly all of the rooms,
which keeps the pupils in touch with
Arbor Day. land imparts instruction on
the value of tree planting and the i'm
portance of preserving our forests.

FERRY SERVICE
SOON TO RESUME

Now that the ice from the head " at.
ers Of the North Branch has made q
start on its journey to the Chesape ke
and since the greater part OF it has
passed Danville on its journey South
as soon as the river falls q few feet
there will be nothing to prevent re.
sumption Of ferry service.
There are large number of people
on each side Of the river who are very
anxious to see the ferry in commits.
sion. 1t is true foot people are per.
mitted to cross the bridge. but this
only flls the bill In part. Taking
the travelling public into account.
1t matters hut little to a man that
he is permitted to walk over the
bridge il theresis no way of getting
his luggage over the river. Neither
ooes the unfinished bridge avail much
to the large number of farmers ON the
opposite side Of the river whose pro-
ducts help to replenish our stores and
whose trade contributes big item to
our towns prosperity. So long as these
farmers are unable to bring their load
cd wagons across the river tho mere
privilege of walking across the bridge
does not count for much.
Not only would the ferry if put into
commission accommodate the classes
above enumerated but its service would
be highly appreciated by our own
townspeople, such as physicians who
would be enabled to respond promptly
to calls in Rush and Gesrhart town
ships and merchants, manufacturers
and others who would be enabled to
receive goods and expressage from
South Danville.
In view of the above facts the public
does not anticipate much delay in
launching the ferry. It was the gen.
eral opinion yesterday that the Coun.
ty Commissioners are missing fine
opportunity by not launching the fiat
boat during the freshet, while the
water is at its height. With very
slight effort at present the big fiat
could be slid into the water. whereas
il the river is permitted to fall near
low water mark the boat can only be
launched at the expense of much labor
and attendant cost. In all proba-
bility the boat will need calking and
other repairs so that at best there will
be delay. Not day therefore, should
be lost The County Commissioners
no doubt will take the proper view Of
things and launch the ferry at once
