ton; but as yet the movement Is not
nationwide, and there is much work to
be done before the opening Of the sea
son for tree planting. says Providence
Journal. There ought to be no doubt
as to the success of the plan, for It ap-
peals alike to patriotic sentiment and
to the unitarian idea that every I'M
dertaking should have a practical
value. Thousands Of city streets and
country roads can be made attractive
at comparatively small expense for
trees and the labor of planting, and
the programs of dedication can cas-
lily be made as impressive as those
of Decoration day. The plan also has
merit in It's possibilities of indefinite
continuance. There is no need of en-
deavorlng to plant all the memorial
trees In one year; it may be better to
distribute the work over a long term
Of years, and thus make every Ar
Dor day memorial day to the soldiers
who persisted in Europe in the cause
Of world freedom.
