TREES AS GOOD CITIZENS 
114 
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 can 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 community possibilities in 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 Joffre, 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.
