Forestry and Young People. 



Two members of the Society, Mr William Rowan Thomson, 

 Marine Engineer, Glasgow, and Mr Andrew Hamilton, Marine 

 Architect, Glasgow and Liverpool, generously sent handsome 

 donations of ^£2^ each to the Society, to be employed in creat- 

 ing an interest in afforestation among children. The way in 

 which the money should be spent was left to the discretion of the 

 Council of the Society. A further gift of ,-^25 was subsequently 

 received from another member, Mr J. L. Gray, Elginhaugh, 

 Dalkeith, who approved of the idea. 



The Council, after considering the various ways in which the 

 money might be laid out, decided in favour of a small book, 

 which should describe the objects and methods of forestry in 

 such a way as to make them intelligible — and interesting — to 

 young people. The President, Sir Andrew N. Agnew, Bart., 

 was invited to write the book, and it is now in the hands of the 

 publishers, Messrs Douglas tt Foulis. It is written in simple 

 language, and has been kept as free as possible from technical 

 terms. 



Dr A. W. Borthwick, D.Sc, Forestry Advisory Officer to the 

 Board of Agriculture for Scotland, has given advice and 

 assistance on all scientific poirits. 



It is hoped that teachers in country schools may be persuaded
