"ARBOR DAY. AT COLONY
Was Observed Saturday Afternoon
With Good Crowd in Attendance

With Good Crowd in Attendance
Arbor Day at Delaware Colony
School was observed again on Sat-
urday, April II, as has been the
custom for the past fifteen years.
There were several features on the
program this year. The planting
of the trees, plants and shrubbery
took place in the afternoon. These
were donated to the Colony by
friends from all over the State.
The plants as a rule are given by
individuals who can spare them
fro mtheir own gardens. Almost
all of the paintings at the Colony
have been received in this way.
Any kind of plants or shrubbery
can be used to advantage because
of the spacious grounds. At one
thirty the guests assembled in the
auditorium where a play was CIV
en- by the children attending the
Colony School. There were many
visitors there who went to the Col
ony year after year because of
their special interest in the plays
given by the children. Special tai
ent or ability possessed by a child
is very often discovered through
his participation in the annual
plays. The Arbor Day exercises
were under the direction of the
Board of Lady Visitors of which
Mrs. George Carter and Mrs. Wal
ter w. Hynson Of Smyrna, are
members.
