mind, clean and regular habits of 

 life; means health, efficiency, useful- 

 ness, independence, content and hap- 

 piness; means children saved from 

 misery, crime and degradation. In 

 the face of such manifest benefit to 



child life, and the striking success 

 not only of this tentative effort here, 

 but also of the open-air schools of 

 America, and Europe, it is very de- 

 sirable that . such a type of school 

 should be continued and extended. 





I The Forester and the Lumber Company 



Mr. J. B. Snowball of the W. B. 

 Snowball Lumber Co. Chatham, N.B. 

 made the following interesting state- 

 ment at the annual meeting of the 

 Canadian Forestry Association: 



"It pays to have a forestry branch 

 in a company the size of ours. It 

 is distinctly a paying proposition and 

 I advise any paper, pulp, or lumber 

 company anxious to operate lands 

 economically to employ a trained 



forester. We have received an ade- 

 quate return from our investment 

 already. We are making a consider- 

 able saving in cutting and a saving 

 to the Government on stump - 

 age." 



The Forester of the W. B. Snow- 

 ball Company is Mr. J. R. Gareau, 

 a graduate of Laval Forest School, 

 who has had considerable practical 

 experience since graduation. 



Eight Thousand Dollars ! ! 



'" "" "" BU^^IIH D^ 



Eight thousand dollars were spent 

 on the various educational activities 

 of the Canadian Forestry Association 

 in 1916. It is no exaggeration to say 

 that one hundred dollars of national 

 benefits are returned as dividends 

 on every dollar that leaves the As- 

 sociation treasury. 



Considering the great field for 

 educational work and the keen re- 

 sponse of the Canadian people to 

 every attempt to enlist their interest 

 and co-operation, eight thousand dol- 

 lars is meagre enough. The 1917 

 programme of propagandist work in 

 all parts of Canada cannot be handled 

 on last year's revenues. We appeal 

 to all members to pay their member- 

 ship fees piompLly and to select, if 

 at all possible, the Contributing Fee 

 of five dollars. 



Remember! The Canadian For- 

 estry Association has no endowment. 



and no identification with any Gov- 

 ernment or commercial interest. 



The cause is national. The organ- 

 ization and its methods of operating 

 are expressive of the public spirit of 

 4500 members. In other words, the 

 Canadian Forestry Association be- 

 longs to you and cannot fulfill its 

 purposes without your support. 



Inspected Wood Exhibit. 

 The Hon. H. C. Brewster, premier 

 of British Columbia,, called at the 

 offices of the British Columbia Lum- 

 ber Commissioner in the Excelsior 

 Life Building, while in Toronto, and 

 inspected the exhibit of forest pro- 

 ducts there. The shipments of Brit- 

 ish Columbia lumber to the eastern 

 market during 1916 were many mil- 

 lion feet in excess of the preceeding 

 year.
