ARBOR DAY
IN TIE SCHOOLS

Apropos of tie proclamation of G ov.
ernor Penny'pscker designating April
l4th and 28 tn as Spring Arbor days an
ex-school director Of town yesterday
remark ed upon the apparent lack OF
any Practical observance OF the day in
Dap vile. He recalls the time, fifteen
&C., 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 were arranging programs and re
hearsing for the event it devolved up
on the school board to procure the
trees, and to have place prepared for
planting them, which involved not
| only the digging of the holes but also
the caTtlng 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 aud singing. ap-
pTopriate to the matter in hand was
rendered by the boys aud girls begin.
ming in the school room and ending on
the grounds outside where the glad
some acclaim of ohildren's voices or
more likely an appropriate song kept
time to the shoyelfuls of earth as they
rained down upon the roots of the
trees being planted. Similar scenes at
the same hour were being enacted at
each of the four school buildings in
the borough. Very many OF our meu
aud 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 il is a 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
On Arbor Days Of the past are stand
inc at tho pTasant time
E The latter fact Is held responsible
for the change in the manner of the
| days observance in Danvlle. It is
! fact, it Is said, that each of the schooI
buildings occupy sites where an i'm
mense amount of filling up was requir
| ed at one time or another, cinder or
gravel being employed in large quanti
ties. Planting of trees on Arbor Day,
| whatever might be said of its value as
an object lesson, or as a source of in
| spiration TO the pupils so far as secur-
ing any immediate or practical results
in forestry is concerned, became a 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
dering of programmes appropriate to
the event in nearly all Of the rooms,
which keeps the pupils in touch with
Arbor Day. and impart4 instruction on
the value of tree planting and the i'm.
portance of preserving our forests.
