FOREWORD. 



This is the last number of the Forester for this year; so it's good-'bye 

 until next November. The editors wish to thank the men in the field and 

 the men in the school for their hearty support of our little magazine this 

 year. We have tried to live uip to the policies of the past and keep the 

 Forester as up-to-date as possible. The men in the Field were unusually 

 helpful in sending in all the information concerning their own location 

 and work, and that of other men as well. The success of the magazine de- 

 pends largely on their support, and that is not lacking. Professor Roth 

 continues to write up the "News of the Men in the Field," and always 

 seems to have pilenty of material on hand. This section is one of the 

 most important in the whole 'book, and it is all due to Professor Roth and 

 his familiar style of expression. 



The year just closing has been a good one for the School, the Club, 

 and the Forester. The School has more teachers, more equipment, more 

 room, and plenty of enthusiastic support. The Club has prospered, and 

 the ta^s this year were fine. The Forester now has a standard green cov- 

 er which will be used hereafter, although the acorn design will probatoly 

 te changed. Next year promises to be a big year for the whole .Depart- 

 ment. The next Forester should be a fine one, with lots of news and 

 hearty support. 



And now the editors hand over the shears and the paste-pot to the 

 newly elected editors, with the wish that they may have as good support 

 as we have had. From now on all communications should 'be addressed 

 to Geo. C. Caron, 707 Oxford Road, Ann Arbor, Mich., or Walter E. Bond, 

 612 Church St., Ann Arbor, Mich., the new managing editor and business 

 manager, respectively.
