ARBOR DAY IN NEBRASKA.
APKIL 23 , 1889.
To the Officers , Teachers , Patrons and
Pupils of the Public Schools of Neb :
The Statutes of Nebraska designate tho 23d
day of April as Arbor Day. I desire to call tho
attention of all teachers and school authori
ties in the state to tho importance of this day.
Let this day bo an occasion of interest and
beneUt to all our people and especially to tho
school children of tho state. Let each school
district do something to mako more attrictlvo
and comfortable the many thousand school
grounds in the state which now have neither
trees nor shrubs , for use or ornament. } hope
all will tako an interest in this day by setting :
out trees and shrubs about the school grounds
dedicating them to authors , educators , states-
men , generals , historians , or poets , or to peo
ple or children close ! } identified with tho
schools.
Tho planting of tho trees may very properly
bo supplemented by literary exercises , out of
doors when weather permits , and in tho school-
house whero out-door exercises are not advis
able. These exercises may include tho singing
of appropriate songs , the reading or recital of
prose or poetical selections relating to this
subject , a short address by some suitablo per
son , essays , letters , etc.
Arbor Day should bo made one of the most
interesting and profitable days of the year. If
properly observed in a few vears every rural
school in Nebraska can have its pleasant shady
bower where the pupils can find shelter from
thescorchlng sun of summer and whero their
taste for tho beauty of nature will find some
gratification.
On this subject , B. F. Northrop writes ;
"This work naturally extends from the school
to tho home , leading children to share in door-
yard adornments , and in planting trees by tho
waysido. Under this new stimulus of Arbor
Day , just adopted in so many states , more
trees should be set out by tho roadsides of
America , this spring than any former year.
Nothing can add so much to the beauty of onr
roads as long avenues of fine trees. One sees
this illustrated for hundreds of miles on a
stretch in some countries in Europe. Grow
ing on land otherwise running to waste , such
trees yield most satisfactory returns. The
shade and beauty are grateful to every travel ,
or , and doubly so to the planter , for there is a
peculiar pleasure in the parentage of trees ,
whether forest , fruit or ornamental.
Trees and tree-planting from a fit subject
for the oral lessons now demanded in our best
schools i Pupils should thus be led to observe
trees 1 and learn their habits , for then thejwill
appreciate them as tho grandest products of
.nature. One of the educational forces of Ar
bor Day begins when children are prompted
to plant , not only trees , but seeds , acorns , ash ,
elm ' , or maple keys , nuts , drupe , stones or pits ,
and then year by year to observe the wonderful
miracles , with tree-life they have started is
working : out before them. What interest and
profit , what growth of mind and heart they
will gain as they watch the mysterious forces
]
of these living germs ; their marvelous assimi
lating ] power , carrying on such a curious
chemistry in their underground laboratory
conjoined ( with the upper.story apparatus of
foliage , secreting acids , that disolve sand and
]
stones , transmuting coarse earth and even
filth into living forms of beauty and fragrance !
\
It is something for a child to drop such a germ
in the earth , and think of its possibilities.
Thus the influence of Arbor Day will manifest
themselves I more aud more as the years go by
especially ( to those who early follow Dr.
.
Holmes' advice , and "make trees monuments
ot ' history and character. "
I invite a report from each and every school
observing this das' , giving the general charac
J
ter of the exercises , the number and kind of
trees 1 planted. This report should be sent to
me at an early day by the person in charge of
the exercises. I desire to make mention or
these 1 exercises in my next report.
Lincoln , Neb. , April 3.1S89.

GEO. B. LANE ,
State Supt. Public Instruction.
. Economic questions alono are involved in
the outlined policy of President Harrison with
reference to'tho South. If present progress
continues in the direction of material develop
J
ment the race question will take care of itself ,
precisely as it does in the North. The best
way to wipe out an old selfishness , and the
prejudices which belong to it , is to suppty a
|
new one. The Louisville Courier-Journal ,
makes light of the matter , but may change its
tone after the congressional elections of 1890.
This will test the new departure , which is far
more sensible and more promising for good
results , than near-sighted raids on the people
of the South , who must be changed industrial-
ly before they change politically.
The legislatures of Indiana and New Jersey
are iair samples of the rule and ruin methods
of democracy in power. In both states the
energy of the party was concentrated in a
wholesale grab on the treasuries. Every law
which interfered with the reign of plunder in
New Jersey was repeal-d , and the distribution
of spoils placed in the hands of the governor
to prevent the possibility of a future republi
can legislature disturbing their grip on the
public crib. In Indiana a republican govern
or nullified the schemes of the democrats , but
their scandalous management of state iustltu- (
tions proved them to be totally unfit to con-
trol or direct public affairs.
m
The department of public instruction of
Iowa has issued its customary annual Arbor
day leaflet in a novel and attractive form. As
Arbor day in Iowa falls on April 30 , the super
intendent of public instruction has addressed
tho school children , their teachers and friends
with a patriotic greeting in commemoration of
the centennial of Washington's 'presidency.
The idea is a most happy one. Not only is it
Intended to teach the children patriotism , love
for Washington and respect for the constitu
tion and country , but the significance of Arbor
day is pleasantly worked in by urging all to
plant "Washington trees. " The superintend
ent of public instruction for Nebraska could
well follow tho examnle.
A new navy is the demand of the people.
Every mail to Washington , where the beat of
tho national heart is first felt , carries with it
the evidences of popular desire. It is a time
ly demand and springs from tho very patriotic
feeling that with millions of surplus in the
treasury , we ought to have a fleet on eveiy
sea which would fittingly reDrescnt-tbe power
and dignity of a great nation , and enforce re
spect for its flag. Congress will not be slow to
act in view ol the public sentiment on the
matter. The hurplus could not be spent in a
more profitable manner than in the building
of a navy which would rival a second-cla s
power at least.
Trouble is again brewingon theDes Moines
river lands. The attempt to evict the settlers
is useless. They peacefully move out of their
'
homes when ordered and return when the offi-
cers disappear. They are thoroughly organizj j
ed and determined to hold the lan-N and raise {
a crop this year , expecting that the next con- J
grps * will give theraielief , either by compen
sating them for time tu.d Improvements , or |
confirm tin ir title. |
