Planting Trees.
It is a pleasure to look forward
in anticipation to the Dalton of a
few years hence. Throughout
the residence section especially
there will be one continuous ar
bor of green, a living curtain of
emerald, ch sing out the heat of
the sun, sheltering hosts of birds,
with myriads of leaves murmur
ing soothingly as swayed by the
summer zephrs. The work that
is being done is for the present and
the future, for the living and the
unborn.
He who plants a tree
He plants love;
Tents of coolness spreading out above
Wayfarers he may not live to see,
Gifts that grow are best;
- Hands that bless are blest;
Plant; life does the rest!
Heaven and earth help him who plants
a tree,
And his work its own reward shall be.
