per acknowledgment of humanitys
debt to nature and individual expression
of their gratitude for the blessings of
spring.
"The general recognition ofthe varied
benefits to be obtained by large &C

spring of each year as Arbor Day. and it
is in accordance with this custom that l
hereby proclaim Friday, April "a, 1914,
as such day and recommend its broad,
practical and earnest observance through
out the state by old and young.
ut is well that our youth realize early
the Importance to the state and nation
of the preservation and conservati on of
forest and woodland, and l, therefore,
request the special observance of the
day by the public schools of the COM
monwealth. would suggest, also, that
the civic organizations and commercial

unite with and assist the county and
city superintendents of schools in the
preparation of suitable exercises, to the
end that the culture of trees, shrubs and
flowers may be encouraged and the tree
planting movement become general"
