For some unaccountable reason the printini? of this Manual has been delayed to such an extent that it hardly seems possible to have it properly distri buted before Arbor Day. This is a great misfortune, as the County Superintendents of Public Instruc tion throughout the State made an almost unaniioaus demand thati these books be distributed this year earlier than was done last year so that the teachers would have plenty of time to teach tbe children their exercises. Instead of being earlier, the Manual will be much later, too late to be of any use whatever in preparing Arbor Day observances. It will now be necessary for the teachers who are organizing Arbor Day exercises to use again the Manual for 1915. If additional copies of this are needed, they can no doubt be secured by applying to the County Superintendent or to the State Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction, Kaleigh.
