himself few years longer to the work

Mr.. Pinchot was deliberately edu-
Gated for the career in which he is now
engaged. A native of Connecticut, he
was graduated from Yale in 1889, AID
then studied forestry in France, Ger
many, Switzerland and Austria. He
began his first systematic forest work
in Biltmore, N. c., in January, 1892,
on the estate of George w. Vanderbilt.
He also served as a member of the
national forest commission which
drew the boundaries of the Cleveland
forest reserves. He has been a large
contributor to the literature of the
subject which supplies his lifework,
and has done much in this way to
bring 1t home to the popular COM
prehension. He became forester un-

July /, 1898, and has gradually per-
fected the organization of superb
working force of young men which
now covers the entire country. In the
south and the Adirondack region of

orally accepted by those engaged in
the industry.

But the government, looking to it's
