ii 4 TREES AS GOOD CITIZENS 



Another interesting group of trees on the Lincoln 

 Memorial grounds at Washington are the trees planted by 

 the John Burroughs Clubs of the public schools. This 

 group for Burroughs, Thoreau, Whitman, Emerson and 

 Muir is called the Hall of Fame. In Pasadena there is 

 another Hall of Fame for famous men. At Atlanta there 

 is an Authors' Grove that is nationally famous. At St. 

 Louis, Mo., there is a Gold Star Tree Court of Honor, 

 and there is another at Trenton, Mo. This is part of a 

 plan for state wide Gold Star Highways. Memorial tree 

 planting has directed the thought to bigger things. At 

 Herkimer, N. Y., the American Legion has a memorial 

 forest well under way in which more than thirty thousand 

 trees have been put in place. 



Everywhere memorial tree planting ca*n be made a 

 community affair, for the people can be brought together 

 by tree planting. Whether it be one tree or a memory 

 mile, there are communitypossibilitiesin the-day's program. 



The people of the whole country are turning to tree 

 planting. Prominent visitors from other countries officiate 

 at plantings. In the list we find Joif re, Foch, the Prince 

 of Wales, the King and Queen of the Belgians and many 

 other nationally known people. The tree lends itself to 

 all times and all occasions.
