The Presidents Address to
the School Children Tree
Planting Urged on Arbor
Day.


ed to the school children of the
United States message on Arbor
Day (which during the month of
April, is celebra'e ed in many of
the States. 1t follows:
"To The School Children of the
United States:
D"Arbor ay (Which means sim
ply tree day') is now observed in
every State in our Union-and
mainly in the schools. At
various times from January
to December, but chiefly
in this month of April, you give
part of a day to special exer-
cises and perhaps to actual tree
planting in recognition of the i'm.
portance of trees to us as nation
and of what they yield in adorn-
ment, comfort and useful pro-
ducts TO the communities in which
you live.
cit is well that you should cell
ebrate your Arbor Day thought
fully, for within your lifetime the
nations need of trees will become
serious. We of an older genera
ton can get along with what we
have, though with growing hard.
ships; but in your full manhood
and womanhood you will want
what nature once so bountifully
supplied and man so thoughtless-
ly destroyed, and because of this
want you will reproach us not
for what we have used but for
what we have wasted.
"For the nation, as for the man
or woman and the boy or girl,
the road to success is the right
use of what we have and the i'm
provement OF present opportuni
ty. If you neglect to prepare
yourselves now for The duties and
responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, if you do not
learn the things which you will
need 10 know when your school
days are over, you will suffer the
consequences. So any nation
which, in it's youth, lives only for
the day, reaps without sowing
and consumes without husband
ing, must expect the penalty of
the prodigal whose labor could
with difficulty find him the bare
means of life.
ga people without children
would face hopeless future
country without trees is almost
as hopeless forests which are so
used that they can not renew
themselves will soon vanish and
with them all their benefits. A
true forest is not merely a store
full of wood, but, as it were, a
factory of wood and at the same
time reservoir of water. When
you help to preserve our forests
or to plant new ones you are act
ing the part of the good citizen.
The value of forestry deserves,
therefore, to be taught in schools
which aim to make good citizens
OF you. If your Arbor day ex-
ercises help you to realize what
benefits each one of you receive
from the forests and how by your
assistance these benefits may con
tinue, they will serve a good
end.

SULZBERGER'S APPEAL.
Makes Strong Plea for lid TO
Hebre7O Charities.

IN unusual departure took place last night in the
Friday evening services of Temple Israel, of Har-
lem, Of which Dr. Maurice II. Harris is rabbi Or.
Harris that because of the great lack Of
funds Of the United Hebrew Charities the usual
service would be foregone and Cyrus l. Suzberger
would address the congregation. Mr. Sulzberger is
of the directors of the Temple Israel congrega
ton and Of the trustees of the United Hebrew
Charities.
The appeal which was made for assistance to the
organization is in line with a resolution which was
passed last Sunday at a conference, when it de-
cided that all the rabbis of New York would be
asked to make special appeals for additional con-
tTibutions. At that conference, at which Jacob H
SChiff and Isdor Straus urged the trustees not 10
resign because of the difficulties in which they found
themselves. it was shown that the United Hebrew
Charities had only money enough to help the poor
for sixteen days more, and needed about $4,000.
Mr. Sulzberger's appeal was almost personal in its
application At period of his speech he raised
his hand and pointed here and there the con-
gregation, saying. You have the right 10 say to us
trustees that give UP this work and put it in
other hands But If you wish TO continue our
duty you haven't the right 10 to Us, Relieve this
distress and yet not give us the means TO do it.
This appeal 1 making is not for the United
Hebrew Charities; it IS for the poor of New York.
related to you by blood and religious ties. your
brothers and sisters and say to you and you. and
you, and you, that you have right to put
this double burden of seeing this and not let
ting relieve II.
The situation of the United Hebrew Charities is
different in one important particular from other
institutions. There is limit to the demands that
can be made upon il. When a hospital has many
beds. and orphan asylum accommodation for so
many children, their work is finished and we'll done
when they are filled and can accommodate no more.
But the work of the charities is limited only by
the cries of the poor Of New York and the gen
erosity or niggardlness with which you meet those
cries
II know we sll have been struck hard by this
panic: but how hard really have been struck?
] know It isn't pleasure to your profits dwin-
ding, but just because your proflts dV'indling
think Of the poor beneath you who are affected
worse than YOU who are thrown out OF work-and
your profits haven't dwndled much but that
YOU can help their needs"

LABOR CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
American Federation Acts Toward a Univer-

Norfolk, Va. Nov. 22.-The American Fedora
ton of Labor to-day, declaring universal eight
hour day paramount to all questions. even to an
increase in wages-"except in such trades and
callings where the earnings are so meagre as to

of living"-caed for campaign of education

end. The federation, determining that II would
be impossible to secure universal eight hour
day by any sudden radical concerted STEP

degree of suffering and prlvation"
After long and exciting debate the conven-
tion referred to the executive council a propo-
sition to compel all international unions having
locals affiliated with the United Hebrew Trades
Council, of New York. to call upon locals to
withdraw therefrom.
