Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wisconsin Arbor and Bird Day Annual, 1908 It is earnestly requested that teachers enter into the spirit of this elec tion and endeavor to have the children vote understandingly for the flower of their choice. To this end it would be well to have the chil dren gather and bring to the school the flowers obtainable and from which the choice is likely to be made. The habits, manner of growth, and life of each flower should be discussed to determine which one best typifies the Badger State. If teachers through the instruction given children preceding Arbor Day, and the exercises in the school house, are able to arouse a more sympathetic and thorough interest on the part of pupils and parents in the care and culture of trees, much will be done toward making secure the forestry movement which is now being attempted by the state and national governments. As the Nation grows older and the states be come more densely populated, our timber regions are steadily diminish ing. If a supply of timber adequate to our needs is to be kept up and our streams are to have a comparatively uniform flow, not to mention other important considerations, more attention must be given in the public schools to teaching children the. Necessity of caring for our forests. One half of the school population of the state are enrolled in our district schools, and many of these pupils will continue to live at or near the place where they attend school. Much good can bodoue in teaching the simple rules necessary for the successful planting of trees and for the preservation of the farm wood-lot.
