The President's Address to Chi the School Children?Tree Jo Planting Urged on Arbor L Day. tei President Roosevelt has address- N ?d to the school children of the [ley, United States a message on Arbor few Day,|which ^during the month of in h April, is celebrated in many of Oar the States. It follows: Mat "To the School Children of the N. ( United States: v rooi D**Arbor ay (which means aim- Pin' I Vi ply 'tree day') is now observed in n every State in our Union ? and ^ mainly in the schools. At various times from January Car(' to December, but chiefly ^ r? in this month of April, you give _ a part of a day to special exer- ^er cises and perhaps to actual tree ^rst planting in recognition of the im- j?'u portance of trees to us as a nation W011 and of what they yield in adorn- } eri ment, comfort. a?d useful pro- ln a ducts to the communities in which you live. "It is well that vou should eel- ^ra T ebrate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within your lifetime the ^ nation's need of trees will become ^'8S serious. We of an older genera- ^itt tion can get along with what we ^eo have, though with growing hard- J0*11 ships ; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want ^ar T 1 what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtless- ^*rrtl ly destroyed, and because of this ^r? want you will reproach us not ^'8C for what we have used but for ^rai what we have wasted. man "For the nation, as for the man ^col Fun or woman and the boy or girl. " jyi the road to success is the right y use of what we have and theim- tai11 provement ot present opportuni y?ul ty. It' you neglect to prepare mK* yourselves now for ihe duties and responsibilities whichj,will fall upon you later, if you do not E learn the things which you will ^ v need to knew nhca your cchco! days are oyer, you will suffer the q ~ consequences. So any nation u,ig which, in its youth, lives only for (jeBt the day, reaps without sowing riou and consumes without husband- vjsjj ing, must, expect the penalty ot eVei the prodigal whose labor could |)er with difficulty find him the bare a p means of life. j)eo, t4A people without children COin would face a hopeless future ; a rocj< country without trees is almost mal as hopeless ; forests which are so ^he used that they can not renew \\ themselves will soon vanish and with them all their benefits. A ' j_f> \ true forest is not merely a store foeei full of wood, but, as it were, a tHj|a factory of wood and at the same nun time a reservoir of water. When but you help to preserve our forests W'U or to plant new ones you are act iug the part of the good citizen. Ma The value of forestry deserves, therefore, to be taught in schools which aim to make good citizens ** ol you. It your Arbor day ex- (j erciscs help you to realize what . Is.nAKl. ......
