. . . statutes provide that the Governor
| shall annually appoint an arbor and bird
day to be observed in the schools. In
compliance there with I hereby designate
Friday, the nineteenth day of April, 1918, as
Arlinr attà l'iro ſlau
on which day the teachers will read this procla-
mation to * scholars and impress upon them
that the wanton destruction of song birds and Of
their eggs is a crime, and that the planting and
preservation of trees benefits them and succeeding
generations, and materially adds to the beauties
of their state, which is now one of the most
attractive states in the Union.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford,
