Excerpt from Arbor Day Manual: Arbor Day, May 8th, 1906This manual of Arbor Day will soon be sent to the school authorities in every section of Montana. The chief object in scattering copies of it broadcast to all parts. Of the state is to encourage and foster an interest in tree planting by the school children, teachers, trustees, and citizens in every school district of the state, to inform them in regard to the kind of trees best suited for growth and development in our soil, to inform them when and how to prepare the ground for trees, how to plant them, and how to care for them after planting.Arbor Day within the past thirty years has taken such a strong hold upon the American people that its annual observance, like that of Thanksgiving Day, is now encouraged and recommended by nearly every state in the union.' The real advantages to re sult from intelligent tree planting are too well known and appar ent to need explanation here.A little effort on the part of our school trustees, teachers, chil dren, and citizens, if carefully and systematically directed, will result in the planting of trees within their school yards and grounds, about their home premises and surroundings, and along the roads and highways leading to them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
