Ranger Saunders, who spoke briefly at the Pillsbury Home 

 meeting, when he declared that even though the rangers had 

 spent years in the woods they welcomed the opportunity to 

 come to the city and spend a few days studying with the lads 

 who will latei take up their work. 



Propose Similar Meeting in the Woods. 

 Already plans are on foot to hold a similar meeting some- 

 where in the northern part of the state at a different time of 

 the year when more of the rangers can be present. Mr. Mar- 

 shall has suggested that such a meeting be held this summer 

 at the summer camp of the forest school. Such a meeting 

 held under the very trees which the students are studying 

 and the rangers protecting could lead only to the best kind 

 of results.

Men Apt to Lose Sight of the Future. 



The object of the lectures given in connection with the 

 short course were not so much to teach the men anything 

 about the work they are now doing as to encourage them in 

 the work of the future. Men engaged wholly in the occupa- 

 tion of fire prevention as they are are apt to become so ab- 

 sorbed in the present work that they lose sight of the future, 

 lose sight of the fact that the prevention of fire is only a pre- 

 liminary step on which the great work of the future, the build- 

 ing up of an enormous producing forest one of the prime 

 sources of revenue of the future state will be based. The 

 course was designed to give an insight into the size and im- 

 portance of this great development and furnish a better pro- 

 spective of the work now in hand. 



The following were present: 



A. P. Oppel, Percy Vibert, 



Wm. M. Byrne, J. P. Saunders, 



Walter Eisenach, Hugo C. Nelson, 



L. F. Johnson, A. C. De Puy,
