''Forest Travelogues." 



A valuable device has developed 

 in the free lecture outfits, or 'forest 

 travelogues' which were placed with 

 local speakers in Quebec, Nova Scotia, 

 and Ontario. Two sets, each of 56 

 lantern slides, accompanied by a lec- 

 ture manuscript on 'Guarding the 

 Forests' have been in good demand 

 in many parts of Canada where the 

 Secretary cannot go personally. Re- 

 ports speak of the audiences being 

 much interested and anxious for more. 



Numerous cartoons, emphasizing 

 the value of permanent forest pos- 

 sessions, the immensity of the forest 

 industries, the cause and prevention 

 of forest fires, etc., were sent to every 

 province and used in hundreds of 

 dailies and weeklies. 



The Publicity Bureau of the Asso- 

 ciation prepared and issued large 

 numbers of newspapers and maga- 

 zine articles of an educational nature, 

 sometimes taking up topics of special 

 interest to the papers of one or two 

 provinces, such as the New Bruns- 

 wick forest survey, the pit prop re- 



quirements of the Alberta coal mines, 

 etc. 



Rousing the Children. 



Illustrated pamphlet-lectures call- 

 ed 'Forestry Talks For Young Folks' 

 were placed in the hands of 3000 

 school teachers in all parts of Can- 

 ada, for use in their class rooms. 

 This was managed with the consent 

 and co-operation of local school 

 boards and many letters have men- 

 tioned the Forestry Association book- 

 lets as being used as part of the reg- 

 ular reading course of pupils. 



The Association has always placed 

 much emphasis upon the education 

 of the Canadian boy and girl in a 

 correct estimate of the value of the 

 forest possessions. An introductory 

 story, dealing with the national and 

 economic importance of perpetuating 

 the timber supplies, the record of fire 

 waste and other subjects was turned 

 out under the name of the Boy Scout 

 Forest-Book and given by us to the 

 15,000 Scouts in Canada. Interest 

 was further stimulated by a revision 

 of the Boy Scout Manual's references 

 to forestry, through the kindness of 

 Mr. Clyde Leavitt and other friends 

 of the Forestry Association, with the
