 widely known in the trade and at one time 

 ])resident of Youngers & Co., of Geneva,

PARK MANAGERS' CONVENTION. 



Officers Elected. 



The American Association of Park 

 Superintendents is no more; that is, the 

 name is no more. At its twenty-second 

 annual convention, held at Detroit, at 

 the Hotel Tuller, lasting three days, 

 August 23 to August 25, it was de- 

 cided that, in line with the reorganiza- 

 tion of the association, the body would 

 henceforth be known as the American 

 Institute of Park Executives. 



At the Wednesday night session of 

 the convention, the officers for the en- 

 suing year were elected as follows: 

 President, George H. Hollister, Hart- 

 ford, Conn.; vice-president, C. A. Bos- 

 sen, Minneapolis, Minn.; secretary-treas- 

 urer, Emmet P. Griffin, East St. Louis, 

 111., and directors, H. W. Busch, De- 

 troit, Mich.; Theodore Wirth, Minne- 

 apolis, Minn.; W. H. Dunn, Kansas 

 City, Mo.; John Meiscnbacher, Tulsa, 

 Okla.; L. P. Jensen, St. Louis, Mo., and 

 George A. Parker, Hartford, Conn. 



A resolution was passed, also at the 

 Wednesday night session, advocating 

 that the shores of all lakes and large 

 streams be ])ublicly owned for park pur- 

 poses for at least 300 feet from the 

 water. The institute also went on rec- 

 ord as favoring the spending of more 

 money for the preservation and protec- 

 tion of forests, specifically recommend- 

 ing the expenditure of $1 per acre for 

 the upkeep of the woods of northern 

 Michigan. 



Barring Billboards. 



The institute approved many other 

 steps whicli would tend toward park 

 development, among them the elimina- 

 tion of unsightly billboards from high- 

 ways, tlie establishment of one central- 

 ized control for parks and forests in 

 the large mountain districts, the preser- 

 vation of farm woods and the purchase 

 of at least ten acres of land about every 

 country school for playground pur- 

 jposes. 



The matter of tourists' camps in 

 municipally owned parks was discussed. 

 It was reported that these were being 

 formed all over the country. Not only 

 water and fireplaces arc provided at 

 these camps, but in many there are such 

 luxuries as electric wiring and shower 

 baths. The majority of tourists carry 

 their own cooking equipment. In some 

 pliices the accommodations are free and 

 in some cases there is a small charge. 

 A delegate from Council Bluffs, la., 

 stated til. 'it as many as seventy-five par- 

 ties of tourists were often accommo- 

 dated in one night. 



The beautiful, lake surrounded town 



of Minneapolis was chosen as the meet- 

 ing place for the 1922 convention. 



In addition to the business activities 

 of the convention, there were a number 

 of interesting and instructive talks on 

 subjects relating to park management 

 and several pleasant entertainment fea- 

 tures, which were carried out in accord- 

 ance with the program printed in The 

 Review for August 18.

 agreed to adhere to the policy of selling 

 seedling stock exclusively to the regular 

 nurserymen. A cost accounting analysis 

 has been instigated by the association, 

 whereby growers will be able to de- 

 termine the point at which certain fruit 

 tree stock should be sold in order to 

 realize the cost of production and a 

 reasonable profit. 



During the month of October a list of 

 surplus stock for the trade on hand at 

 various nurseries will be published by
