PROCLAMATION. 
AEBOE AND CONSERVATION DAY. 
The practice, now widespread on the -mainland, of setting aside one 
day each year as Arbor Day began in Hawaii six years ago. Since 
then, here as well as elsewhere, the larger m'ovement for the conserva- 
tion and development of all natural resources, of which Arbor Day rep- 
resents only one phase, has made great progress. Two years ago, in 
consequence of the quickening of the public conscience and interest in 
these matters and the practical results therefrom in the inauguration 
and extension of active work along these lines, the scope of the day 
was enlarged. 
Accordingly, I hereby designate Friday, the 10th day of Novem- 
ber, 1911, as ARBOR AND CONSERVATION DAY for the Territory of 
Hawaii, and recommend that on that day appropriate exercises be held 
in all the sch'ools of the Territory and that a part of the day be devoted 
to the planting of trees and shrubs. 
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the Territory of 
(Seal) Hawaii at the Capitol in Honolulu this 28th day of October, 
A. D. 1911. 
W. F. FREAR. 
By the Governor, 
E. A. MOTT-SMITH, 
Secretary of the Territory.
