The second departure was active participation in the visual educational 

 work of the public schools. The Forest Service exhibit material was set up in 

 a Los Angeles school and later in the Children's Hour room of the Public 

 Library in San Francisco. At the latter place, and in co-operation with the 

 Board of Education, over 6000 pupils of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, 

 San Francisco public schools, visited the exhibit, saw the resources of the 

 national forests, and had explained to them the relation of these resources to 

 the economic life of the people of state and nation. 



Present plans contemplate similar exhibits during the early spring, in co- 

 operation with the school boards of Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley.

The Southern California Section has recently contributed $50 toward defraying

 Canon back of Pasadena. 



The Southern Section is considering taking steps toward making a national 

 monument of Palm Canon, Andreas Cafion, and other native haunts of the 

 Washingtonia Palm in the foothills of the Colorado Desert in Riverside 

 County. Numerous private holdings are the chief obstacles in the way, as has 

 been pointed out by Mr. Stephen T. Mather. Miss Aurelia S. Harwood, of 

 Upland, California, is chairman of a committee appointed to investigate the 

 whole matter. Phh S. Bernays
