On Friday afternoon a pleasant trip to Montmorency falls was taken, through 

 the kindness of the Quebec members, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 



In the evening a session, was held in Morrin College Hall. An interesting descrip- 

 tion of ' A Forest School,' illustrated by a number of views of students at work in 

 the forest, was given by Mr. W. H. F. Addison, of the Yale Forest School. This was 

 followed by an illustrated lecture on ' The Forest as a National Resource/ by Dr. 

 Judson F. Clark, Forester, Ontario Bureau of Forestry. 



On Thursday evening a banquet was tendered to the visitors by the Quebec mem- 

 bers of the Forestry Association. The splendid character of the hospitality of the 

 city of Quebec was shown on this occasion, and elicited the strongest expressions of 

 appreciation on the part of the guests. Brilliant speeches were made in response to 

 the various toasts, and special reference may be made to that of Monsignor 

 Laflamme. Speaking in reply to the toast of the Educational Institutions, Mon- 

 signor Laflamme, referring to a paper on Forest Insects read during the afternoon, 

 said that the writer had overlooked three very injurious bugs, namely, Ignoratio 

 communis, Indifferentia generalis and Influentia politico,. For the first two education 

 and popular agitation are the remedies ; for the last the Reverend Abbe had no specific 

 to offer. He urged that steps should be taken for the establishment of a school of 

 forestry in Quebec, or for the sending of students to France to take a special course 

 at the forest school at Nancy.
