Washington, Special. President Roosevelt ..has addressed "to the school. children of the United States" a message on the significance of Arbor Day which during the month of April is celebrated in many of the States. It follows: "To the school children of the United States: - "Arbor Day (which means simply 'Tree Day') is now observed in every State in our Union and mainly in the schools. At various times from January to December, but chiefly ia this month of April you give a day or pu' l. of a day to special exercise Snd perhaps to actual tree planting, in recognition of the importance oil trees to us as a nation, and of what they yield in adornment, comfort and useful products to the communities in which you live. "It is will that you should cele brate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within the lifetime the nation '3 need of trees will become serious. We of an older generation can get alom with what we have, though with grow ing hardship; but in your full man hood and womanhood you will wan what nature once so bountifully sup nlied and man so thoughtlessly de slTi'veii. and because o'f this want you will reproach us not for what we have used, bill tor what wo have wasted "For the nation as for the man 01 wc man and the boy or girl, the road to success irr the right use ol wlut wc havfi and the improvement of uresi.:t ocrjortunities. If you neglec tn nrenare Yourselves now for the dn.'irs and resnonsibilitioe which will fall upon you later, "if you do not leara the things which you will need to know when vour school V.vs are rnvpr vm will suffer the eonseauenec. So m:v nation which in its voutll live only for the day, reaps without sewinr and consumes without hus- handine'. must exnect the penalty r. I'ie Di-odia! whoso labor could with difficulty hud him 1 he bare means of lile. "A people without children would face a hopeless future; a coun'ry without trees is almost as hopeless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanir.li and with them all their bene fits. A true forest is not merely storehouse full of wood, but, as it wire, a factory of wood, and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones you are acting tne wvrt of gooof citizens. The value of forestry deserves therefore, to be taught in the schools which aim to make good citizens of you. If your Arhor Tlav exercises hem vou to real lze what benefits each one of you ve- ceive from the forest, and how l.v vour assistance these benefits may continue, they till serve a eood end "THEORORE ROOSEVELT."
