necessity in some countries of forest growth for fuel 
purposes, he went on to refer to the forest department 
of India.. He was not disposed to support the plan 
adopted for some years of sending students, destined 
for India, from this country to France and Germany 
to learn forestry. He believed that if proper schools 
were established in this country, students might 
acquire a knowledge of the principles of arboriculture,
