Arbor Day in Lancaster.
o J
Alitor Dav was celebrated bore in a ben
d tifnl tuaoner last Friday by the Clrad
School. Supt. A. It. Banks proposed to t
children to celebrate this day by plantii
trees on the campus of tho splendid n<
school building. In accordance with 1
cpiest the boys of the higher grades broug
from the forest six tine youug willow-oa
?- which were planted in places selected 1
g the school grounds, with due ceremouies
teu o'clock Friday morning. After plantii
f the trees 100 school children and about 1
of our citizens assembled in the nuditorin
h of the school building,where the Arbor D
exercises suggested by State Superinten
ent Martin ware held. Theso consisted
y a tree song bj tho iirst grade in charge
Miss Nora llougli, followed by recitatior
t declamations and beautiful songs by t
. other grades. The music was conducted 1
Miss Stewart, who is in cliurgo of the mm
0 department of tlm school, and she deserv
much credit for the manner iu which t
t songs were executed.
Another feature of the occasion that <1
* serves special mention was an essay <
,J " 1 he trees ot South Carolina?their Meant
Kinds aud Value," by Mr. Dan Lancy.
0 was full of thought well expressed. T
, crowning event of this occasion was t
u splendi I address delivered by Kev. W.
0 j Neville, D. D., Fresidont ol tho l'rosbyt*
1 tcrikii College ot South Carolina. Dr. N<
a iHe's address was ar. eloquent plea for t
1 preservation of our trees, and tho necessi
of planting more troes. llo spoke of t
beauty of trees, tho comfort they afford i
J and the utility given by them in nddil
3 health to our country and in various olh
ways. Ilis rcceut trip to Europe gave lii
u the opportunity of comparing the com
| tions of the forests tliero and here, i
j stated that tho trees of Europe were sun
j and not to he c<nupared to our Kings of t
1 Forest, the oak and piuo. His appeal
; the young to plant trees now tor fntn
' generations was both eloquent and earn*
8 j Dr. Neville niado a tine impression up<
_ . tho EauCunle 1 people and the ..unca.it
i schools made a fine impression upen hn
3 for he complimented Supt. Banks and 1
able corps of teachers, on the excellent f
der of the pupils and t
people in having a man in char
J- of their schools who had dono already
much for education iu the State, and w
IS now so earnestly engaged in the good wot
ij. He was surprised to know that Lnncast
had SOU or more white cliildicn in t
0 Graded Schools, and congratulated the
on having such a flno corps cf teachers
? If the town will obsorvo Arbor Day as e
thusiasticnllv as did tho school and bog
now the planting of trees it will not be loi
