PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REMARKS 
BEFORE MAKING UP ORDER 
"See to it that , these trees are preserved. You can never replace them. Preserve and keep what nature has done." 
— PBESIDENT EOOSEVELT, at Big Trees, Pelton, California, May, 1903. 
SACBAMENTO, April 19. — An appeal from President Boosevelt to the school children of the State for the observance 
of Arbor Day has been transmitted to State Superintendent of Public Schools Hyatt. The President says: 
"We ought to celebrate this day thoughtfully, for within our life' the nation's need of trees will become assured. In 
your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature so bountifully supplies, and man so thoughtlessly destroys, and 
because of that you will reproach, us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted. A country without trees is 
almost as hopeless as a people without children. The value of forestry therefore should be taught in the public schools."

of the richest. We present herewith a photograph of our main building at that place.
