Editoral 



The abundance of good material 

 sent in for this number of the Bul- 

 letin is a matter for congratulation. 

 It automatically reduces the space 

 to be filled with editorial comment. 

 Again, congratulations! Doubtless 

 this can not be better used, for one 

 thing, than in echoing the regret at 

 the inaction and lack of vision on the 

 part of our legislators to which the 

 President of the Illinois Audubon So- 

 ciety gives expression on the front 

 page. The economic waste from neg- 

 lect to conserve public resources of 

 marsh land and waterways, of forest 

 and significant scenic possession and 

 the wild life such areas imply, who 

 can compute ? The sentiment against 

 such waste is growing. The cam- 

 paign initiated by Representative 

 Harlan B. Kauffman in the last leg- 

 islature will be renewed in advance 

 of the primaries this time. 



With this and related matters the 

 next issue of The Bulletin is to be 

 concerned. Material for it was fair- 

 ly knocking at the door before this 

 went to press. There will be the 

 story of the mapping of forest areas 

 by the state forester and his assist- 

 ant. The story can now be convinc- 

 ingly told of the futility and waste- 

 fulness of draining such areas as 

 the Kankakee marshes. Reports of 

 successful grappling with the spar- 

 row problem are coming in and will 

 be given place. We are to have a 

 new and better year.
