RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CONFERENCE. 



Throughout the meeting the sentiment was repeatedly expressed that the 

 reports submitted were but starting points for the problems under considera- 

 tion. Because of this feeling, and also in view of the report of the committee 

 on permanent organization, the conference at its final session expressed its 

 belief that the purpose for which the New Haven meeting was called would 

 best be served were the work there begun continued by a permanent organiza- 

 tion. It was the sense of the conference that the most satisfactory agency 

 through which to accomplish this was the Society of American Foresters. Ac- 

 cordingly, the conference unanimously adopted the following : 



RESOLUTION. 



Resolved, That this conference recommends to the Society of American For- 

 esters (1) that it appoint, through its president, a committee on forest educa- 

 tion to consider all suggestions made to this conference, whether in formal 

 reports or otherwise, together with such other phases of forest education as it 

 deems advisable; (2) that this committee consist of (a) the chairman of this 

 conference, as chairman, (&) the chairmen of the eight committees reporting 

 to this conference in those cases where they were senior members of the so- 

 ciety, and in cases where they are not, of some other member of the committee 

 who is a senior member of the society, and (c) of three other members; (3) 

 that this committee be authorized to appoint subcommittees, which may in- 

 clude persons to be appointed by the chairman who are not and do not by virtue 

 of such appointment become members of the main committee; and (4) that it 

 report the results of its investigations, with recommendations, to the society 

 from time to time. 



At the annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters, held in New 

 York City on December 19, 1920, the above resolution was presented and 

 adopted. Shortly thereafter the president of the society appointed as the com- 

 mittee on forestry education the following persons : 



* J. W. Tourney, New Haven, Conn., chairman. 

 R. S. Hosmer, Ithaca, N. Y. 

 H. H. Chapman, New Haven, Conn. 

 F. F. Moon, Syracuse, N. Y. 

 S. T. Dana, Washington, D. C. 

 E. A. Ziegler, Mont Alto, Pa. 

 E. G. Cheyney, St. Anthonys Park, Minn. 

 K. W. Woodward, Durham, N. H. 

 R. T. Fisher, Cambridge, Mass. 

 H. P. Baker, New York, N. Y. 

 P. S. Lovejoy, Ann Arbor, Mich. 

 R. D. Forbes, New Orleans, La. 



To cover the wide field and to endeavor to advance forestry education in 

 this country in the largest measure, the main committee has been organized 

 into 10 subcommittees to study and report upon specific topics within the limits 

 of the general committee's field of activity. These reports will be made to the 

 Society of American Foresters and doubtless in due course will be made public 

 through the official organ of the society, The Journal of Forestry.
