6 EDUCATION IN FORESTRY. 



For some time the speaker has recognized the need for a second national 

 conference on forestry education and in the early summer of 1920 he was urged 

 by many foresters engaged in educational work to call such a conference to 

 convene at New Haven, Conn., on December 17 and 18, 1920. In order to facili- 

 tate the work of the conference and make it productive of the most good, a 

 number of committees were appointed some months ago to prepare reports on 

 the more important phases of forestry education in this country. We are here 

 to-day to hear these reports and after full discussion to take such action as is 

 deemed desirable.
