BOOK REVIEWS 



A Short Manual of Forest Management 

 By H. Jackson. Macmillan (New York). 

 In his preface the author states that the 

 object of the book is to present a brief and 

 simplified text-book on forest management, 

 based on a practical foundation, and he has 

 eminently succeeded. The subject is, of 

 course, thoroughly covered by standard 

 works familiarly known, but these are ex- 

 positions of the highest theory and some- 

 what formidable for the ordinary student 

 or for the public this little manual is the 

 bridge between. Undoubtedly it will be well 

 received and serve a most useful purpose. 



The Red, White and Blue Manual. Johns 



Hopkins Press, 1921. 



Volume I, Red Course. A textbook for 

 the citizens' military training camp. By 

 P. S. Bond, lieutenant colonel. Corps of 

 Engineers, U. S. A. ; O. O. Ellis, late lieu- 

 tenant colonel, A. E. F. ; E. B. Garey, 

 major, infantry, U. S. A.; T. L. McMur- 

 ry, captain, infantry, U. S. A. 



This volume is the first of a series of 

 three manuals, especially prepared to meet 

 the needs of students at military training 

 camps. The "Plattsburg Camps", which be- 

 came famous under the leadership of Gen- 

 eral Leonard E. Wood before our entry 

 into the World War, inaugurated the sys- 

 tem of volunteer military training camps 

 for citizens, and the Citizens Military 

 Training Camps, now conducted by the 

 War Department, are the logical outgrowth 

 of the Plattsburg idea. The training given 

 will be thorough and systematic and as the 

 need was felt for a series of manuals for 

 the students, a revised and greatly improved 

 "Plattsburg Manual" is here offered for the 

 "Red" or first-year camps. 



The Ranger. Published as a monthly by 

 the Filipino Ranger's Association. 

 This interesting paper is devoted to the 

 interests of forestry, lumbering and the 

 conservation of natural resources in the Is- 

 lands. It declares editorially that "the con- 

 servation of our natural resources is the 

 greatest internal problem before the coun- 

 try today, and forestry touches the con- 

 servation of all our natural resources," and 

 goes on to say that "passage of wise legis- 

 lation and liberal appropriations for the de- 

 velopment and utilization of our natural re- 

 sources constitute the chief hopes of the 

 Filipino people." 



These statements indicate clearly that the 

 necessity for economic development in the 

 ultimate achievement of independence is ful- 

 ly realized by leaders of thought in the Is- 

 lands and are a good indication that the nec- 

 essary reforms are under way through the 

 practical application of educational propa- 

 ganda. The development of forestry and 

 proper conservation in the Islands is going 

 bravely forward and this paper is welcomed 

 as the spokesman of the Ranger Associa- 

 tion.
