BY STATE SUPERINTENDENT
MILLER CONCERNING lRBoR
DAY AND ITS oESERV-
ANCE-

Dear Editor:
You have already kindly referred TO
te Arbor Day effort being made by
this department, and believe you viii
be doing a good service for the pup
lie by still further emphasizing the
subject and urging general o5serr-
ance Of the day. This movement, o.
fsinatfns in Nebraska. has led TO the
planting OF more than thousand mil
lion trees in that State alone. thus
Transforming the treeless plains icto
forest areas, and furnishing fine shade
everywhere: and this wonderful work
has been accomplished largely through
the influence of Arbor Day enthu-
siasm- While West Virginia yet has
much forest area. there are MANI
waste places that could be made glad.
and many a home that would rejoice
in more fruit and shade trees.
But il is not so much just now
whether few trees, more or less. are
planted on Arbor Day as whether our
youth and the public generally get
proper conception of what can be
done in the way of improving the
home, the farm, and the material con-
ditions about them We need a high
er ideal Of civic betterment: more in
telligent farming, more fruit growing.
better roads, cleaner streets, larger
parks a purer water supply. more
vines on the front porch. more flowers
IN the front yard. more strawberries
in the garden. To reach those destra-
BILE ends I can think Of no more help
full agency than that Of the public
schools under the leadership Of enthu.
sIastic men and women. But it &C.
ours TO me that the day can be made
more significant and helpful by uni
ted effort on the part OF all the people.
and / know OF no better way to bring
this about than by agitation through
the public press.
Approaching the assistance you
have already given this movement.
and trusting that we may have an
awakening on this subject, and that
Civic Improvement Clubs may be Or
EanIzed all over the State, am,
Very respectfully yours.
THOS. c. MILLER.
