In accordance with the established custom, I hereby designate
3ribag, April 28, 19II5,
as “ARBOR DAY.” The general observance of the day is recom-
mended. In the city and on the farm, by precept and example, as a
people, let us demonstrate that we can for one day turn aside from the
ordinary duties of life and inculcate lessons relating to the beauty and
usefulness of forests to humanity, by planting trees and by public dis-
cussions of the subject of forestry. The necessity of preserving at least
a remnant of that rich heritage which has been well-nigh exhausted,
--the forest trees of NMichigan--should be impressed upon all
our people. Let a tree be planted at the home by every member of
the household able to do so, and those too young should have one
planted for them. Let there be ceremonies and exercises in the
schools appropriate to the day. Time is well spent in teaching the
beauties of nature, and our school grounds and surroundings should
show that the lesson was not only taught but applied. If the day is of —f q^

observed as it should be, our homes and our country will be made

more beautiful, and this, in itself, will teach patriotism and make the T
|
best defense in time of war.
Given under my hand, and the Great Seal
of the State, at the Capitol, in Lansing,
this tenth day of April, in the year of
[Great Seal.] our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five, and of the independence of
the United States, the one hundred and
twenty-ninth.
Governor.
By the Governor:
GEORGE A. PRESCOTT,
Secretary of State.
