ARBOR DAY
BROOKLYN SCHOOLS CELEBRATE
THE. EVENT IN UNION WITH
NORTH DAKOTA.

& Brooklyn, N. Y, May 3.-All the
Brooklyn schools are celebrating Ar
Dor Day, today. Elaborate exercises
have been given in all the schools,
and then the children have taken to
the open. and all the school-plots and
parks have been filled with groups OF
bright and interested school children
engaged in planting trees. On many
of the streets the children have plant
ed trees to shade the thoroughfares.
The school rooms have been filled al
so, with flowers and plants. Altogeth-
er Arbor Day seems to be a favorite
with the school children and also the
school authorities. as it is found by the
latter, that the cultivation of q love
for flowers on the part of the children
increases their attention to rules,
pleases them With innocent amuse-
ment and entertainment, and adds to
the vivacity of the scholars.
