AN EDITORIAL. 



Our predecessors with the typewriter and blue pencil have seen fit, ever 

 since the establishment of this publication, to write a word or so from the edi- 

 tor every now and then, explaining some policy to be adopted, pleading for 

 news from the alumni, or perhaps asking for subscriptions from the same. 

 They have been in the habit of terming these same announcements or requests, 

 "Forewords." Right here we intend to establish something new, and we hope 

 those following us will find it to their liking to follow our suggestion. Accord- 

 ing to our 'Webster,' "a word from the editor to his readers" is called an "edi- 

 torial." Therefore we are going to pat ourself on the back, pretend we are 

 metropolitan, and establish a new caption for this column of the Forester. 

 We are going to call it the Editorial Column, and those things written within it, 

 Editorials. 



Our thoughts for this, our first "Editorial," are twofold. In the first 

 place, we wish to announce that, as in past years, a directory of all the men 

 who have attended the Forestry Department of Michigan will be published in 

 the June issue of the Forester. If this directory is to contain a correct list of 

 addresses, we must know the present address of every man in the field. If you 

 have changed your address recently, or if it was not correct as published in the 

 November Forester, please let us know immediately, as the directory is being 

 made up at the present time. 



Secondly, our Business Manager informs us that quite a number of the men 

 in the field have accidentally, undoubtedly, overlooked the fact that we have a 

 subscription price, which, according to custom, is $1.00 a year. If you happen 

 to be one of this number, will you kindly get in touch with the guardian of our 

 funds and help the Club to bear the necessary expense incurred through the 

 publishing of this quarterly.
