BIG ARBOR DAY PLANTING 

 A PRIL 9, 1920, fixed as Arbor Day by 

 proclamation of the Governor of Mary- 

 land, witnessed a remarkable outpouring 

 of the school children of Baltimore into 

 the city's parks. About eight thousand 

 boys and girls sealed their interest in 

 public parks and trees by tree planting cere- 

 monies, which took place in practically 

 every park and public square in the city. 

 Of the five hundred trees planted, each 

 school planted and dedicated at least one. 



The species chosen for planting were 

 white oak, pin oak, red oak, black oak, 

 mossy-cup oak, Norway maple, sugar maple, 

 American elm, American linden, Oriental 

 plane, white birch, red dogwood and 

 Lombardy poplars. 



The plan was worked out by the Park 

 Board, with the hearty co-operation of the 

 school authorities. Every member of the 

 Park Board is a lover of trees Mr. J. 

 Cookman pyd, the president, being par- 

 ticularly interested in the preservation of 

 old trees as well as in replacement in cases 

 of unavoidable loss. Hundreds of park 

 trees are lost annually torn by heavy 

 winds, uprooted, shattered by lightning or 

 a prey to blight or disease and sometimes 

 victims of smoke and gases. The Board 

 hopes that such replanting by the public 

 school children of Baltimore will become 

 an annual Arbor Day event, such occasion? 

 offering splendid opportunity for special 

 instruction upon the necessity of trer 

 growth to human life. The planting in the 

 parks and squares, in which children take 

 an active part, has splendid educational 

 value in that it stimulates in children a 

 serious and personal interest in tree life 

 and growth, as well as in the park sys- 

 tem. The trees they plant will grow up 

 with them and their enjoyment of the 

 parks will always hold pleasant personal 

 memories for them. As it is the next gen- 

 eration which will benefit from such tree 

 planting, it is most appropriate that it 

 should be done by the school children of 

 today. Baltimore's Park Board is to be 

 commended for this fine achievement in 

 tree planting. 



ARBOR DAY FOR CHINA 



'"PHE College of Agriculture and Forestry 

 at Nanking, China, is starting a move- 

 ment that has as its ultimate purpose the 

 reforestation of China's denuded hills by 

 inducing all of the schools of the country. 

 Chinese and foreign, to observe a Chinese 

 national Arbor Day. Addresses have been 

 sent out in English and Chinese to the 

 schools of the country urging that an 

 Arbor Day holiday be instituted and giving 

 instruction in tree planting methods. It is 

 intended also to supply seeds to the schools.
