STATE: ARBOR AND BIRD DAY
THE SUPERINTENDENT TALKS
UPON THE SUBJECT.
Calls Attention of Teachers and Pu
pills to Importance Of Observing
These Days In State.

The West Virginia arbor and
bird day annual for 1908, will pro-
gram, notes, and suggestion, has
been issued by State Superintendent
Thomas c. Miller. Of the department
OF free schools, calling upon teachers
and pupils to observe arbor and bird
day on Friday, April 10th. The an
nual contains about 65 printed pages
with 10 plates in beautiful col
ors of the forest, birds and West vir-
ginia school buildings.
In his announcement, Superintend-
ent Miller says that in most states Of
the Union an arbor day is provided by
law, but Notwithstanding that no meas
ure OF this kind has ever been pass
ed by the state legislature, for more
shan quarter of century the OBJ
servance OF such day has not been
overlooked by the people of West
Virginia. Not only has this work
resulted in improving school grounds
and shool surroundings in many
places, but its influence has reached
the homes OF our people, and shows
itself in improved conditions there.
He says:
In accordance with this custom,
the second Friday in April has been
observed Nv our schools for mum
Der of years as arbor day and l
trust that more will be accomplished
this year than ever before. Let its
influence be seen not only around
our school buildings and our conn
try homes, but In towns and cities
as we'll. The street, In many Of our
towns and cities can be greatly i'm
proved by tree planting and proper
arrangements OF shrubbery. sug-
gest that special prominence be Civ
en- to the subject of bird study anf
t'al on this OCCASION Audubon socic-
lies be organized IN n,ans u oui
schools. Our songsters are fast dis
appearing. and the youth Of this state
should be taught TO love and pro-
tect the birds, instead OF destroying
them"

SOME SURPRISING FIGURES
REPORT OF BALTIMORE & OHIO
ROAD FOR FEBRUARY.
Shows That the Decrease In 0perat.
ing Expenses Was But a Little
Less Than Last Year.

There are some figures in the Balti-
more & Ohio monthly statement for
February that are quite surprising
From the retrenchment that has been
practiced hereabout IT would certainly
make one believe that the operating
expenses were being reduced enor-
mously when compared with the ex-
penses of one year ago, when enough
men and locomotives could not he hir-
ed to keep the freight moving De-
spite these facts and the fact that all
railroads have laid OF thousands OF
employees on account OF the general
falling on in freight receipts the state
ment issued "Wednesday by the Balti-
more & Ohio show that the expenses
Tor February OF this year were only
s367.s59 less than during the corre-
spending period Of last year, when the
railroads were unable to handle all the
business offered
The decrease In the receipts as COM
pared with February 1905 amount to
81 ,25s.s45

Says Leaders are Needed.

"What Is the one great need of the
race today ?" says Booker Washington.
sin my opinion it is strong, unselish,
intelligent negro leaders and workers.
and women of common sense who will
60 out among our people in the country
districts and teach them, first of all,
the dignity Of labor; who will teach
them proper farming methods; who
will teach them how to become owners
of land; who will teach them how to be
come taxpayers; who will teach them
how to work six days in the week in
stead of spending half of the week in
idleness; who will teach them how to
save their money instead Of spending it
for whisky and superficial show; who
will teach them how to tax themselves,
if necessary, to build schoolhouse and
extend the school term to seven or
eight months in the year. We need
educated leaders and workers who will
also teach our people how to live up
on friendly and mutually helpful terms
with the white man who is their neigh
Dor; who will teach the masses that our
race. like all races, must begin at the
bottom and lay the foundation for
proper citizenship in industrial direc-
tons. This class of leaders and work
ers of the Tuskegee Institute is trying to
furnish"
