ARBoR DAY SUGGEs r1oNs. State Superin-
tendent of Public Schools Payson Smith has
issued to the schools throughout the State
letter in relation to the observance of Arbor
day. and with it sends copy of the Governors
proclamation. AS announced last week Arbor
Day will be observed tomorrow, May 10Th. We
quote from Superintendent Smiths letter. as
follows: "In connection with this (meaninp
the Arbor day proclamation by the Governor)
/ would call your attention to the provision of
the school laws which requires that Arbor day
shall not be recognized as a school holiday un-
less observed by teacher and pupils for the
purpose for which it is designated by the Gov
ernor and council l would urgently recon-
mend that all the schools devote part of the
day to the practical work of tree, shrub and
garden planting. In city, village and country
the occasion, if properly observed, will i'm
press upon the youth of our State important
ideals of civic responsibility. In the move
ment for rural school betterment Arbor day
will afford especially opportune time for
beginning or carrying forward plans for the
improvement of the physical surroundings of
schools. Citizens, teachers and pupils should
join in a mutual endeavor to make every
school, even in its physical appearance reflec-
tive of its important place in the educational
life of its community. The day may afford
occasion for the organization by the school of
Boys and Girls Agricultural club, or a
branch of the School Improvement League for
the purpose of carrying through the year the
plans inaugurated Arbor day. Will you
kindly send to your local paper report of the
work accomplished by your schools. Superin-
tendent Smith makes some suggestions that
may be of service to the teachers in their
plans for the observance of the day. Several
of the subjects follow: Forest Trees of
Maine and How to Know them,' "Suggestions
Girls Agricultural Clubs School Improve
ment League of Maine,'' 1.-The Work of

unsupported by even his associates of the
Camden team. The Maine interscholastic
high jump record previous to that day was 5
