CHILDREN PLANT
 100000 TREES

CHICAGO, April 20.-School child ren planted more than 300.O0O trees in Chicago yesterday in observance of Arbor day.
 Exercises in honor of the tree family were held in nearly all the public and parochial schools of the city. J. H. Frost, city forester, spoke in number of the schools and urged the children to remove all signs and other defacements from trees on public streets. He denounced the liberty that ambit- ious officeseekers had taken in tack ing placards to trees.
 Wherever you see any such signs" said Mir Frost, consider it your duty to have them removed. If you cannot get them down your self, get some one else to take them down. If the police interfere with you call me up and I will see that you are protected"
 In order that every school child in Chicago might have an oppor tunity of planting a tree on Arbor day the Boston Store put 300 900 2-year-old American elm trees on the market for them at 1 cent each. Other large stores in outlying dis tricts also distributed trees to the children at a nominal price.
 Arbor day celebrations were held in all the small parks Two thous- and children gathered at West Park No. to take part in the eele. bration held there. The park club children were taught verses of the poets Wadsworth and Whittier in which trees are venerated. Two verses memorized were:
 One impulse from a vernal wood
 May teach you more of man.
 Of moral evil and of good
 Than all the ages can.
 Who sows field, or trains flower,
 Or plants a tree is more than all.
 The programme began with a flag raising and maypole dance. Then followed folk dances, tree dances, flower dances and a flag drill. All the trees in the yard were decorated with strands of col ored ribbon and tinted paper gar lands until they looked like fruit trees in full bloom.
 An army of small boys and girls armed with hoes, shovels, and rakes brought out the new "woodenings." The ground had been spaded up for them, so that they did not find it difficult to transplant the small trees and shrubs to their new and permanent abiding places.
 'I think enough trees have been planted in Chicago today to have made regular forest" said Mir. Frost last night Tt is a hopeful sign to see children so interested in the trees. When a nation neg lects it's trees it is a sign the nation is going into decay"

alumnuS can by his presence give an
inspiration to the high school pupil; and
third. the association in its influence
gives, as coming from the body OF the
alumni a certain aim to life. In closint,
she made the suggestion that it would
be pleasant to the alumni and the I'M
dergraduates to have the classes present
! to the high school the various class group
pictures.
Mr. smith in speaking on school spirit.
said he believed that the alumni can
give to the school an individuality a
distinctiveness. There are too many
mere schools. The English schools tho
speaker cited as good examples of what
he meant as individuality. We have
founded school systems When the alumni
come together they make of school
something more than a mere mechanical
institution. The character Of the school
should be very much the character of
the community Of which the school Is
a part. The glory Of burlington is its
plain, democratic people. staunch and
true. And he said he believed that the
people for the school to turn out should
| be such people. strong and firm, good
fighters and thinkers.
| The third and last speaker was Prn-
cipal NJ. d. Chittondcn. He spoke of the
needs of the high school and IN
particular the need of an athletic field
n physical director and a gymnasium
The high school can not overlook the
physical development Of the pupils. At
tenton shoud be paid to physical educa-
ton. Mr.. Chittenden spoke Of the I'M
portance of the athletic field for the high
school At present there is no field where
alumni association to take cognzance
of the matter. In speaking Of fields that
might be possibilities he mentioned the
lot directly back of the high school and
owned by the city, which. with the pur-
chasing of land adjoining, might with
grading he made into a splendid athletic
field He mentioned also the lot next
to the Ira Allen school, the lot at the
corner of Film and ST Paul streets, and
tire lot on ST. Paul street Just beyond
the Hickok residence In the business
meeting that followed Mr.. Chittender
was directed by a vote to appoint com
mittee of three of the alumni to in
vestigate the matter of the field
| The following officers were elected
President. Levi p. Smith: vice president
Henry G. Fuller; secretary, Miss Mabe
Southwck; treasurer, David w. Howe
chairman of the executive committee ant
member for two years. Charles f. Back
member Of tho committee for two years
Miss Moore; members of the committe,
for one year. Mrs +. NJ. Styles ant
Henry Hagar.
An elaborate seven course dinner wa.
served by Manager Colamer. The serv
ice and the management of the entr,
affair reflects great credit upon tho man
ager and his establishment. The reunion
WAS big SUCCESS and It is hoped ant
respected that II will be made an annua
affair. Supt II. o. Wheeler was to hav,
been one OF the speakers. but. he wa
unable 10 be present because OF illness.
