ARBOR AND BIRD DAY

A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR

By authority of law, and in harmony with established custom, I, J. O. Davidson, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, designate

FRIDAY,

MAY

AS

EIGHTH,

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.

It behooves us that the youth of our land shall have knowledge of the value of the trees and the birds, and in order that they may become familiar with their purposes and use and their great value to mankind, Arbor Day has been established. We must teach the children that the flowers, the trees, and the birds have need of their protection and tender care, and this sentiment should be fully cultivated within them.

To assist in attaining this end, it is recommended that Arbor Day be observed as largely as possible by the planting of trees, flowers, and shrubs at our homes, our school grounds, and our parks, which shall serve to increase their beauty, and foster in the minds of the young a love of nature.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Wisconsin to be affixed. Done at the Capitol, in the City of Madison, this second day of April, A. D. 1908.

By the Governor:

J. A. FREAR,

Secretary of State.

J. O. DAVIDSON.
