REFLECTIONS OE A LIFE DIRECTOR 353 



Elbert F. Baldwin and John Hays Hammond are new directors, 

 friends of Charles L. Pack, well known men and excellent additions to 

 the Board. They are welcome for their two-year periods and may be 

 re-elected. ]\Ir. Baldwin is an editor on the Outlook, a man of broad 

 vision who sees, as all broad-minded men interested in forestry have 

 seen, the wonderful possibilities of this organization if rightly handled. 

 Mr. Hammond's opinions on forest economics are not known to the 

 writer. 



This constitutes, with one vacancy, the Board. 



With this Board so constituted, of whom six of the seven life mem- 

 bers are incurably reactionary and wish to avoid legislative or contro- 

 versial questions, while the majority of the remaining eight are either 

 uninformed on policy, reactionary, newly elected, or have resigned in 

 disgust, what prospect has this Association, in the words of its Secre- 

 tary, for "assuring a continued public service and public-spirited policy" 

 or being "therefore now in a position to do more to promote forestry 

 than ever before?"
