ARBOR DAY MESSAGE
The following Arbor Day message to school children from the commissioner of State forests appears in this month's issue of the School Journal: " During the next few weeks, in different parts of the country, you will be thinking about trees, and in many cases you will see them planted, either in your own places or in the school grounds. . " I am very, pleased to know that you. as young citizens of New Zealand, are making yourselves acquainted, through your school activities, with one of our most important national possessions—the forests—and you can be assured of my personal interest and encouragement in your endeavours to learn more about our trees and forest life. "The climate of our Dominion is one of the most favoured for the growth of trees, and our aim should be to place New Zealand in the vanguard of those countries which appreciate, preserve, and increase their forest wealth. " You are doing your part in this Arbor Day celebration, and, you have my best wishes for all success in your efforts of to-day, the results of which will hereafter be of vast importance to your country." ,
