which the great waves dash, to the
highest point in the mountains, where
the air is clear and dry, and hundreds
find the keenest pleasure in climbing
great heights, from which can be seen
vast stretches OF country, countless
hills, where nature In all her majesty
stands revealed.
In the White mountains more than
fifty miles of permanent highways
have been built by special acts of the
State Legislature In the most grandly
beautiful section of New Hampshire,
at the foot of the Presidential range,
opening up new and beautiful regions,
and affording more convenient means
of communication with different points
of interest. These roads and the ocean
boulevard in process of construction
along the sea coast strip represent the
most costly stretches Of the proposed
State system.
The invasion of the automobile in
recent years has increased the inter
est taken in this work Last summer
the number of automobiles that went
into the state was larger by hundreds
than ever before, and the present sea
son has already seen a greater inva-
sion.
Attention is also being paid to the
forests, under the direction Of the for
estry commission, while sentiment
among the people is being stimulated
by the work OF the Society for the
Preservation of New Hampshire For
ests. an organization which comprises
in its membership some of the best
known men In the State, as well as
some Of the most prominent OF the
summer visitors. For several years 1t
has kept a trained forester in the field
as a lecturer and adviser, The most
ambitious project so far advanced, and
II is said with good prospects of sue
cess, is to have the national govern
ment make the White mountain region
a national forest reserve.

"As early as possible the malady
was diagnosed and the causes for the
vacant houses upon the farms were
summed up under these three heads:
"First-The children left the old
homestead for other fields Of labor

condition to manage the farm, and
upon the death of the aged parents in
later years the children had become
engrossed in business upon other
farms or in other occupations and
