Excerpt from Thirty-Fourth Annual Program for the Observance of Arbor Day in the Public Schools of Rhode Island, May 8, 1925
To take a part in your observance of Arbor Day, I am sending you, for the twentieth time, many suggestive selections, some gathered from the rich literature of trees and others contributed expressly for your use by friends versed in the lore of nature. The schools of Rhode Island have kept the tree festival for thirty-four years and it may seem like an old story; but the miracle of springtime is ever new and in the vernal awakening of nature a voice seems to say: Behold! I make all things new.
The main theme of Arbor Day is forestry and its first object is the planting of trees. More and more reforestation is becoming an urgent public concern of nation and state, as shown in selections of this program.
