MARCH.—Boys and Girls Carrying Flags.

PROGRAMME FOR ARBOR DAY.

The celebration of Arbor Day has become so common that there is a demand for a programme of public exercises for schools and academies. The following can be varied by omitting pieces or substituting others. Little flags on palm-leaf fans tacked on well, also tufts of pine, and wreaths of flowers, bouquets, etc., might aid in decoration. Let the pupils take an active part in preparation.

SONG. Tune: “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

We have come with joyful greeting,

Songs of gladness, voices gay,

Teachers, friends, and happy children,

All to welcome Arbor Day.
