Education. 



The Council is gratified to be able to report that Mrs Hamilton, 

 who formerly gave a donation of ^^loo, has generously sent a 

 further sum of jQ%o to be applied in promoting juvenile education 

 in forestry. The Committee has been in communication with 

 all the Executive officers of the new Educational Authorities, 

 with the object of obtaining their views as to the best and most 

 practical methods of arousing and maintaining an interest in 

 woodcraft and the love of trees amongst young people, especially 

 in districts where re-planting is likely to be carried on. A 

 large number of replies have been received. While approving 

 generally of the procedure the Council had already proposed to 

 adopt, some of these officers were kind enough to submit 

 further suggestions, such as raising seedlings in school gardens 

 and planting them out; providing facilities for lectures to 

 teachers and giving them an opportunity of taking part in the 

 Society's Excursions. 



The Committee has also, as you will observe from the 

 circular calling this meeting, made an appeal for prints of 

 photographs which might be made into lantern slides, for 

 illustrating lectures to be given in rural districts. It is hoped 

 that there will be a good response to this appeal, so that a 

 varied collection of slides may soon be available for this work. 

 It is gratifying to be able to report that a considerable number 

 of sales of the small hitrodiiction to Forestry have been effected 

 during the year. The amount received was shown in the 

 Accounts as over J^^"]. These sales are the direct result of this 

 correspondence with the Executive officers of Education.
