TREES AT SCHOOLS.
DEPARTMENT’S NEW POLICY., TO ENCOURAGE CULT. The movement inaugurated by the Forestry Department in Taranaki three years ago to encourage the forrnaaou of nurseries at schools and so "«r4iisseminate the love of trees amongst children has met with great encouragement, and to-day there are 40 schools there participating. The Department is now in a position to extend this useful activity and Mr P. M. Page, Forest Extension Officer, is in the Wairarapa on this duty. The idea is to encourage each school to start a little nursery by showing them how to make the seeding frames and seed beds and to plant out the young trees. Such trees as can be profitably planted in the school grounds will be used in this manner and the surplus will be distributed amongst the children to plant at their own homes. Mr Page yesterday visited the Wairarapa High School, and to-day he will be at Carterton and Martinborough.
