Friday next will tie Arbor day in Ore

side'of the subject, Supt. Troy Shelly 'Is
in receipt of the following communica
tion from the Hon.- E." B. McElroy,
State Superintendent of Public. Instruc
tion: -; :j
Dear Sib: In compliance with"
tht
law relative to Arbor Day, the - first
general circular wan issued by direction
of the State Board of Education March
3U, la&a.- uie second circular", pro
gramme wae issued to school officers
March 19, 1890. The third programme
-was published and distributed March
11 , 1891. Sufficient ' numbers of - these
circulars are sent out each year to
County and City Superintendents to
supply each school with at least one
copy.
. If climatic conditions are such -that it
may be thought best to plant trees prior
- or subsequent to the second . Friday in
April,; the trees to be dedicated may be
- selected and planted at any time during
the months . of March or April that may
be thought most suitable and beneficial
'....for the life and growth-of the same,
"The formal "dedicatory exercises relative
; to the frees thus planted can be given on
- Aroor juay. . .- '. -
Where; impracticable to. plant trees;
ehrube, vines or flowers maybe substi
tuted. A flower bed may be laid out,
and vines set in or seeds planted. : If
brier thickets, chaparral, or other un
derbrush surround the school-house or
. school-ground, 'such unsightly' objects
" 1 may be. cleared away , The barren and
. bleak -walla of many school-houses may
be decorated and made more cheerful
In brief,- the exercises on Arbor Xay
. should not be confined to tree planting
; alone, but may well include any mater
- ial "improvement that will tend to make
- .the school Burroundings more attractive
. and healthful and impress - upon .the
' minds-of the children the 'Ideftvp.f the
-- 1teautiful as well as the useful'.. . ' . ,
r The question tha preservation or
our remaining forests, find subsidiary to
that, the planting-of "Hrees," has been
deemed so important by thoughtful men,
. that the law-makers of a number of our
. states have been led to set apart by stat
utory -enactment a day in each year to
be ciexptgd.Q such exercises asjnay tehd

The school exercises should be varied
from year to year, so , that .an interest
once excited among pupils may not flag
fromTrnenotpnyi The. purpose of such
: exercise is twejold y (X) To call atten-
; tiou to the immense influence of trees on
clmatiQ'conditions,. iind thus onjall ihe
earth's 'priijductions,"' and (2) to cultivate
- in children a love for nature on all faei
.various forms, especially for trees; shrii ds
and flowers, -To carry forward the lat-
tcrb.bjeat the children should be en-i-
xwraged to plant trees about their school
Btunds and. their homes, 'and icoiihec
ed with thjs, to cultivate flowers!and
ornamental plants. . Next to" a famil

to the extensive fend 'destructive fires
that annually sweep jarge :areas of the
finest forests in the world eituate in the
Coast moun tain j and Cascade range," and
in the Blue mountain! in, Eastern Oregon.
. 6-Many excellent reports of fche ob
servance of Arbor Day,, last year, , have
been received " from principals-; and
teachers of our public schools... Some of
these reports indicate . that special and
valuable results have been secured in "the
organization of local, clubs for. the -preservation
and extension Of our forests.'
It is hoped - that . the law in reference
to Arbor Day niay be complied with until
every school district -in the state shall
take part therein. ' . ; :' ; rt "

.; - VT Seleeta Turkey. V;'
In this couctry only is the turkey
found in a wild state. It is very fitting
therefore, that in the Christmas dinner
it should be the principal dUh.- The
turkey . must- be wisely chosen, well
evoked and properly served. It should
be short and plump, the meat white,
with some fat, the legs black and smooth;
fcad it theft. be epms they' should be
gfaort. The end of the breastbone should
be flexible; more like gristle than bone.
A turkey that is long in -proportion to
its size, and has dark or bluish flesh,
may be tender, but certainly will not be
finely flavored and juicy. -A dry picked
turkey will be found to have a much
better flavor than a scalded - one. All
poultry that is ry picked -costs a few
cents a pound more than the scalded,
but is well worth the extra price. Maria
