From its Southern spring camps, the Bilt- 

 more Forest School is about to move to its 

 Summer camps at Cadillac, Mich. En route 

 to Michigan, the School visits the giant 

 paper plant of the Champion Coated Paper 

 Co., with which the Champion Lumber Co. 

 and the Champion Fibre Co. are affiliated) 

 at Hamilton, Ohio. The three steps in the 

 manufacture of paper are thus studied, 

 from the stump of the tree to the con- 

 sumer. Thus it happens that the students 

 become acquainted, in the course of their 

 travels, with the various steps of the con- 

 version of the trees into the necessaries of 

 life. 



In August, the Biltmore Forest vSchool 

 moves for its fall camps at Marshfield. Ore- 

 gon. In October, the School sails for its 

 winter quarters in the German forests. 



Mr. Spring Goes to Cornell.

next three years he was engaged in a whole- 

 sale dry goods business in Chicago, after 

 which he returned to the Yale Forest School, 

 graduating from that institution in 1903, 

 with the degree of Master of Forestry. The 

 next two years were spent at the University 

 of Maine, where he was professor of fores- 

 try in charge of the department. He spent 

 the summers of 1902, 1903 and 1904 in work 

 in New England for the U. S. Forest
