Arbor Day was born of thenecessities of forestless Nebraska,and has planted multitudes of treesupon her plains. The name wascatching, the schools were itchingfor newness, the idea was bril-liantly championed, and the dayhas been a success, notably inNebraska, Iowa, New York, NewJersey and Pennsylvania. In manycommunities the day has no mis-sion as a time for tree-planting,and should be broadened intoNature Day. Arbor Day should introduce chil-dren to Nature first-hand. Childrenshould know Nature to enjoy her,and love Nature to reverence theCreator. They need to be rescuedfrom a cold, matter-of-fact studyof the names, parts and shapes ofplants, leaves and blossoms. Id give more for one live bobolinkThan a square mile o larks in printers ink. And Id give more to have a child enjojy what he knows and to lovewhat he enjoys than to be able to serve up raw facts by the the blooming plant is infinite
