Sixth Annual Meeting of the Canadian Forestry Association. 61 



In the evening, an illustrated lecture by Dr. Judson F. Clark, 

 Forester to the Ontario Bureau of Forestry, on " The Forest as 

 a National Resource," and a talk by W. H. F. Addison, of Yale 

 Forest School, on "A Forest School," were given in IMorrin Col- 

 lege Hall, before a good audience:^ Mr 1 Addison gave an inter- 

 esting sketch of the work done in a forest school. Dr. Clark's 

 lecture was an able presentation of the influence and place of 

 the forest in the national life, and the appropriate illustrations 

 made still clearer his well-sustained argument for dealing with 

 it on large and broad lines.
