the increasing effectiveness of protective 

 measures upon Crown lands generally. 



The past year has witnessed the retire- 

 ment of Dr. B. E. Fernow from active 

 service as Dean of the Faculty of For- 

 estry at Toronto University, his place 

 being taken by Dr. C. D. Howe. Dr. Fer- 

 now has not only been one of the most 

 useful members of the Comm-ittee on For- 

 ests, of the Commission of Conservation, 

 but he may also justly be termed the 

 father of scientific forestry in both Can- 

 ada and the United States. His care-r 

 has been a long and most useful one on 

 both sides of the International boundarj-, 

 and it is greatly to be hoped that he may 

 long be spared to enjoy his well-earned 

 rest.
