A SUGGESTION.
To the Editor. Sir, —Allow me, through your columns, to suggest to the City Council that they invite the children of Dunedin to a “ tree planting” on the Town Belt. In other colonies such gatherings have been attended with good results. The method followed is this : —The City Council have the ground where trees are to be planted, trenched and prepared for the occasion ; a day is lixed, and a given number of children from some school invited to procure the needful trees of a kind specified, and, along with their schoolmates and teachers, to meet the Council upon the ground, when the trees are duly planted. The children always look upon the trees as theirs, and prove better than a thousand rangers in protecting them from harm. The children—boys and girls—usually collect the needful shillings from their parents and friends, and hand them to their teachers to buy the trees required.—l am, &c., Bio Boy.
