tendent of Puolic Instruction. today is
sued a call on the public schools and
citizens generally to observe Friday
Oetooer 20, as Autumn Arbor Day and
requested that the day be observed
wlth suitable exercises in the schools
The cail Is as follows:
The school should be the beauty
spot and net the eyesore of the com
munity. Many s"nool grounds need
adornment. This is very true of our
rurai districts. Moreover, the pupils
reed the stimulus which comes from
the observance IF Arbor Day. Many
rural schools are no longer in session
when the Arbor DAYS in the spriug of
the year are celebrated. Hence it has
become customary to observe an add.
tlonal Arbor Day in the autumn of each
year.
TO perpetlate this laudable Gus.
tom, Friday, October %, 1914. is
hereby designated as Autumn Arbor
Day, Let the day be observed. not
merely as an occasion for the planting
OF trees, but also as ar opportunity for
lmpartlng valuable information on the
need of conserving the soil and the
forest, the trees and the birds. the
beauty of the landscape and the purity
of our streams. Let the trees be so
planted as not to exclude the sunshine
from the school houses, and let the
exercises be so planned as to make the
school grounds as attractive as the sur.
rounding of tine best homes in the
community.
