TREE PLANTING BY CHILDREN
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "Tho Evening Pest.") CHRISTCHUBCH, This Day. Considerable interest has been aroused in the forestry plan which is being sponsored by the Education Board for cit^ schools. The proposal is that each city school should plant two acros each year -with a view to school funds benefiting later from the returns from tie timber. Tho young trees are to be raised from seeds in the school gardens and transferred when old enough to the school blocks on a'largo reserve near tho sjea coast. Efforts! arc now being made to interest the school committees in the project. It is hoped to extend the scheme eventually to country schools as well.
