Meeting of the Society of American 

 Foresters at Pittsburgh, Pa. 



Since the last issue of the Journal, a large number of 

 papers have been promised for the Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science meeting at Pittsburgh, Pa., December 

 28, 191 7, to January 2, 1918, and so much interest has been 

 shown that it has been decided to hold a separate meeting 

 of the Society of American Foresters at that time in con- 

 junction with the regular Association meeting. The exact 

 date will be given in the next issue of the Journal. Mem- 

 bers are urged to submit papers and to send their titles to 

 the Secretary of the Society, Atlantic Building, Washington, 

 D. C. The general treatment of the subject and length of 

 the paper should be indicated, in order that the program 

 may be definitely arranged. 



At the New York meeting of the Association last year a 

 very successful meeting of the Society was held, and it is 

 hoped that the meeting this year at Pittsburgh will prove 

 equally successful and receive the whole-hearted support 

 of the membership of the Society. 



The annual business meeting of the Society will also be 

 held at the same time, and annual reports of the various 

 officers will be presented.
