The work of the Faculty is to be 

 kept up through the coming session 

 asj^usual, and a number of discharged 

 soldiers expect to enrol. Meanwhile, 

 the Khaki University also proposes 

 to start forestry courses in London, 

 preparing for entrance into the Fac-

tion, and has thus quickly re-attain- 

 ed some degree of prosperity. —

Dr. Felix Regnault entertains the 

 view that the decadence of Greece, 

 Rome, Spain and Italy has been due 

 primarily to a faihire to practice 

 conservation. 



AIRPLANES FOR B. C? 



The feasibility of the airplane for 

 forest fire patrol work is regarded as 

 plausible by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, 

 provincial minister of lands. 



His opinion regarding advantages 

 which should be derived from the in- 

 auguration of such service was ex- 

 pressed in conversation and an air 

 service veteran who returned after 

 being wounded six times, furnished 

 him the inspiration. Such returned 

 flying men, thought the minister, 

 would prove invaluable to the gov- 

 ernmental forestry branch for patrol 

 work along the^ British Columbia 

 coast areas. The distance they could 

 cover in a day's run would aggregate 

 more than that of three or four 

 mounted patrolmen on terra firma, 

 while observation from the aii' over 

 forest areas would have manifold 

 advantages over observations taken 

 from the ground. 



THE POWER OF PRODUCING 

 WEALTH 



The power of producing wealth is 

 therefore infmitely more important 

 than wealth itself; it insures not only 

 the possession and the increase of 

 what has been gained, but also the 

 replacement of what has been lost. 

 This is still more the case with entire 

 nations (who cannot live out of mere 

 rentals ) than with private individuals. 

 Germany has been devastated in 

 every century by pestilence, by fam- 

 ine, or by civil or foreign wars; she 

 has, nevertheless, always retained a 

 great portion of her powers of produc- 



HOW TO PREVENT FOREST 

 FIRES 



Never leave camp with your camp- 

 fire burning. 



Never drop lighted matches or 

 tobacco in the woods. 



Never clear land by fire in very hot 

 weather. 



Try taking these precautions this 

 year only. 



You'll do the same next year by 

 habit.
