Winning the Children by Our Speakers' Bureau 



Hillsborough, N. B. 

 "I delivered the first address and am now arranging to take in as many of the other 

 schools as possible. I consider the first manuscript excellent and difficult to improve 

 upon." 



C. J. OSMAN. 



Cobalt, Ont. 

 "I should be pleased, indeed, to receive your second lecture on Forestry at your 

 earliest convenience. The pupils and teachers were delighted with vour first lecture." 



A. E. BRYSON, Principal, 



Cobalt Public School. 



Matheson, Ont. 

 "We liave been at the school this morning and made arrangements with the prin- 

 cipal for Mr. Barlow to address the pupils from time to time. Mr. Barlow will give 

 his first address on May 25th. 



D. CHALMERS. 

 Magnetawan, Ont. 



"According to arrangements, I addressed the senior classes of the public school 

 here on May 20th. The teacher was quite interested and the pupils were attentive." 



ANGUS ROSS. 

 Marmora, Ont. 



"On May 21st, I delivered the address which you sent me to the senior pupils of 

 the Public School here. The pupils gave a very attentive hearing and the principal 

 expressed his warm approval of the lecture. 



"I feel sure you are doing a splendid work in reaching the young people in this 

 way." 



F. S. PEARCE. 



The foregoing are typical of the hearty reception accorded by the schools of Can- 

 ada to the Canadian Forestry Association's most recent enterprise, the Speakers' 

 Bureau. In this work, several hundred public spirited Canadians have volunteered to 

 do a vital service to forest conservation by acting as local speakers. The appreciation 

 of all members of the Canadian Forestry Association is due those who have not hesi- 

 tated to tax their time and energy to cultivate a more intelligent concern for the 

 nation's forests. 



Any member of the Association 

 who has an opportunity to make use 

 of a lecture manuscript is invited to 

 send in his name. Every town and 

 village in the Dominion should have 

 the benefit of these entertaining juv- 

 enile lectures. 



"This work is vital to our national 

 welfare and should be extended," 

 writes a school principal, Mr. F. T. 

 Fowler, in Seaforth, Ont. 



"I shall appear before the County 

 Grammar School of this town Super- 

 ior School of West Bathurst, as well as 

 the large schools of South Bathurst 

 and West Bathurst during the re- 

 mainder of May and perhaps some of 

 the more remote schools as well," 

 writes one of our hearty eastern 

 friends, Mr. J. L. Ryan, Barrister of 

 Bathurst, New Bruswick, who adds: 

 "I have gone over your Special Talk 

 and am greatly pleased with same." 



"The trustees have arranged to 

 have me address the children on Fri- 

 day next and I will also take steps to 

 present this paper before some other 

 meetings whenever possible," writes 

 another strong Association friend, Mr. 

 F. A. Fisher, President of the Enter- 

 prise Foundry Co., Sackville, N.B. 



"I am arranging a big picnic for 

 Victoria Day", writes Mr. D. R. P. 

 Coats, of Kipawa, Quebec, "and my 

 Boy Scouts Avill lead in fixing sports 

 for the kiddies. I will have all the 

 children sit down for a quarter of an 

 hour and listen to a little speech into 

 which I will work the Empire idea 

 and specially Canada and her vast 

 forests which must be protected." 



These are typical of the whole- 

 hearted co-operation given by mem- 

 bers of our Speakers' Bureau in every 

 *^art of Canada.
