PROCLAMATION. 
AEBOR AND CONSERVATION DAY. 
The practice, now widespread on the mainland, of setting aside one 
day each year as Arbor Day began in Hawaii live years ago. Since then, 
here as well as elsewhere, the larger movement for the conservation and 
development 'of all natural resourcs, of which Arbor Day represents 
only one phase, has made great progress. Last year, in consequence of 
the quickening of public conscience and interest and the practical re- 
sults in the inauguration and extension of active work along these lines 
in this Territory, it was deemed fitting that the scope of the day be en- 
Inrged. This year these reasons hold with even, greater force. 
Accordingly, I hereby designate Friday, the 11th day of Novemeber, 
1910, as ARBOR AND CONSERVATION DAY for the Territory of Ha- 
v/aii, and recommend that on that day appropriate exercises be held in 
all the schools 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 Hawaii 
at the Capitol ip Honolulu, this 28th day of October, A. D. 1910. 
[Seal] ^ W. F. FREAR, 
Governor of Hawaii.

E. A. MOTT-SMITH, 
Secretary of Hawaii.
