Definite Problems Need Solving. 



The time has passed when it is necessary to hold conven- 

 tions in order to shpw people that there is such a thing as 

 forestry. Everybody knows that now. If there were anyone 

 so ignorant he would be ashamed to admit it. We have now 

 reached the stage where forestry has developed some definite 

 problems which must be solved before real progress can be 

 made. It is to the solution of these definite problems that 

 all our associations should devote their energies. Most of 

 them involve a change of policy and such changes can be ob- 

 tained only through the education of the people. It is a work 

 that our association can and must do. Let an association 

 grapple with some one of these definite problems and it be- 

 comes a vitally important factor in the development of our 

 forests; let it fail to do this and it is only a question of a 

 short time till it will be a purely social and wholly negligible 

 organization.
