forestry methods. He not only wants 

 to improve his own forest property but 

 wants others to do the same. No other 

 man in Ohio manifests more public 

 spirit or genuine unselfish interest in 

 forest conservation, and he will be a 

 power in advancing forestry in this 

 State. His efficient Superintendent, 

 Mr. M. H. Doolittle, is in active charge 

 of the forest. With these two men at 

 the helm great things can be expected 

 at Carbondale. 



ber of a commission to report to their 

 respective governments upon the needs 

 of several parks in Europe. Mr. Dan- 

 iels will bend his energies toward the 

 completion of a set of plans for each 

 of the parks to the end that not only 

 shall the inharmonious be eliminated, 

 but that there shall be a definite plan 

 for the park administrators to work to. 



Secretary Lane has appointed Mark 

 Daniels as Landscape Engineer and 

 General Superintendent of National 

 Parks. The Secretary's appreciation of 

 the necessity of a fixed plan as an es- 

 sential in the economic administration 

 and proper development of the parks 

 resulted in this appointment. Mr. 

 Daniels is from San Francisco and has 

 recently completed an advanced inves- 

 tigation in the post-graduate depart- 

 ments at Harvard University upon the 

 subject of the economic value of art, 

 the results of which investigations it is 

 hoped will be ofif the press early in the 

 ensuing year. If his duties in connec-

NEW BOOKS RECEIVED 



"The Farm Lot/' by E. G. Cheyney and J. 

 B. Wentling. Price, $1.50 (The Macmil- 

 lan Co.). 



Is an addition to the Rural Science Series 

 which have for some time been a feature of 

 the special publications issued by the Mac- 

 millans. The book, which is exceptionally 

 well printed and illustrated, is designed to 

 aid the farmer in the establishment, care and 

 utilization of small patches of timberland 

 on his farm and will be found of great prac- 

 tical benefit, as the authors have told in 

 simple, precise English, and in popular style, 

 just what to do with all kinds of woodlots 

 and the best varieties of timber to encourage. 



to make forestry his profession, but rather 

 to keep away from it if he can. In forestry 

 a man is either altogether at home or very 

 much out of place. Unless he has a compell- 

 ing love for the Forester's life and the For- 

 ester's work, let him keep out of it." The 

 book tells in succinct style what the forest 

 is, what the forester's knowledge should be 

 and of all the various steps in the develop- 

 ment of a forester. 



"The Training of a Forester" by Gifford 

 Pinchot. Price, $1.00 (Lippincott's). 

 Certainly no man is better equipped than 

 Mr. Pinchot to write of what is necessary in 

 the training of a forester, and of what the 

 aspirant for entrance into the profession 

 needs. He very frankly says "I urge no man 



"Lumber and Its Uses," by R. S. Kellogg. 

 Price, $1.00 (The Radford Architectural 

 Company). 



Contractors, architects, builders, and even 

 the lumbermen themselves have long felt the 

 need of such a book as this, for it tells what 

 lumber is, what the various kinds are best 

 suited for and, in fact, as much in detail 

 about lumber and its uses as any intelligent 

 man, wishing the information, could ask. It 

 is a book which should have a large sale 

 and should be well worn by constant usage 

 for reference by any possessing it.
