BOSTON, the leading educational journal
OF this country, declares that Massa-
chusetts and other Northern States can
learn much from the methods and pro-

especially In this section. And she de-
clares that methods here are superior
to those In the Northern States In q

At this season every Year hundreds
of thoughtfnl people think 1t lncum-
bent upon themselves to ask clifford
Pinchot. the United States forester, to
express his views upon the needless
destruction OF the nations forests by
the cutting OF Christmas trees" The
reply OF this man, who for ten years
has led the fight for the conservation
OF the country.s forest resources, is
often a surprise to those who would
do away with the custom of taking an
evergreen from the hillside to contri-
butte to the Festivities OF a single day.
II have given this subject good
deal Of thought said Mr.. Pinchot to-
day. land have finally reached this
conclusions:
Trees are for use. There is no
other use to which these trees could
be put which would contribute so much
to the happiness and good of mankind
MS their use for the children and family
ON Christmas Day.
Compared with the destruction OF
our forests by fires and Wastefnl lum-
berIng, the danger to the future life
OF the forests by cutting Christmas
trees Is infinitesimaI. II is estimated
that 100000 Christmas trees are used
In this country every year, one in every
fourth family. II planted four feet
apart these would grow on l.i00-
acre farm. The number Is utterly In
significant when compared with other
great darlns upon our forests.
Trees suitable for Christmas trees
do not grow in the old forests where
reproduction is most important. but In
the open. Even If serious denudatlon
were threatened. the proper method
would be not to stop using the trees.
but TO adopt wiser methods. There is
no more reason for an outcry against
using land to grow Christmas trees
than TO grow flowers.
