"An excellent book clear, inform- 

 ing, convincing, adequate. The authors 

 reveal not only a comprehensive grasp 

 of their great subject in its historical, 

 technical, economic, and social relation- 

 ships, but ability to state the case in a 

 way at once appealing to the student, 

 the forester, and the general reader. For 

 one who is seeking information and 

 guidance on a national question of con- 

 spicuous importance, it is a book to own 

 and to read time and again." A. R. 

 Munn, Dean of Cornell University. 



"The book fills a much needed place 

 in American forest literature. It pre- 

 sents in a very readable form the story 

 of the life of trees and forests, their 

 service to human welfare and progress, 

 the problems of practical forestry, and 

 the advance of the forestry movement 

 in this country. It is a book which 

 everyone interested in forestry should 

 read and have on his shelf." Henry S. 

 Graves, Dean of Yale School of 

 Forestry. 



Mr. Pack is undoubtedly the best 

 known exponent of popular education 

 in forestry in the United States. He is 

 past president of the American Forestry 

 Association, honorary member of the 

 Society of American Foresters, and the 

 author of numerous books and articles 

 on forestry subjects. 



Mr. Gill is a graduate of Yale School 

 of Forestry and was formerly in charge 

 of the educational activities of the 

 United States Forest Service. He is a 

 senior member of the Society of Amer- 

 ican Foresters and forestry contributor 

 to Nature Magazine.
