Arbor Day Proclamation.

Arbor Day Proclamation.
In compliance with requirements Of
the law, and following custom, not
long established but increasingly
popular, I hereby designate Friday,
April 28th, 1905, as Arbor and Bird
Day earnestly urging it's general
observance, to the end that the
natural beauties of the state may be
enhanced and preserved for the
comfort and pleasure, not only of
ourselves, but of our chiidren's
children.
With it's wonderful endowment of
climate, forest and field, there is no
reason why Minnesota should not
become the garden spot Of the great
Northwest, watered by lake and
river, and nourished by sunshine
that is at once tropic and temperate
in it's sweet luxuriousness. But
the steady depletion of our timber
area calls for constant reinforcing,
and nature, with Hebraic exaction,
demands a tree, for tree, a shrub
for shrub, if she is to fulfill her
part of the contract in making the
wilderness rejoice and blossom as
the rose. Surely, then, it is meet
and proper that, at this season of
upspringing blade and bursting
bud, our people should seek to
further her purpose and their own
interests by the planting of trees
and rural adornment and shade.
And especially should the children
in our schools be melted by
program and example to supply the
lacking, foster the weak, and train
the strong, among our friends the
tree folk.
I, therefore. recommend that on
this day reading, recitation and
exercise in the public schools have
one common object, in teaching that
it is useless and wicked to destroy
the good, necessary and beautiful to
heal and protect the injured, godlike
to create life, and that it will be of
mutual interest to man and bird to
enter into an alliance, friendly and
protective, for the annihilation of
the slug and the propagation of the
feathered songster.
The day should be largely one OF
practical activity. Days and days
are there for quiet absorption and
contemplation on the part of
Him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms'
this should be devoted to what may
be termed utilitarianism in nature
to an inventory of our resources,
and an honest attempt to make a
part payment on our liabilities.
So shall the message from present
generations proclaim to those of the
future, in woodland song, in grace
full elm, in sturdy oak, in pensive,
fragrant pine, an ancestry not alto
gether selfshly commercial in
instinct and practice, but one that,
loving beauty for it's own sake,
found
Earth crammed with heaven
And every common bush atire with Cod
and wrote this revelation in fair and
characters on a world that
it's Creator pronounced in the
beginning very good
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be affixed,
at the Capitol, in the City of Saint
Paul, this Oath day of March, A. D.
1905.
