uncle sam,s Forester..

Thtrty-nine young graduates Of our
national forestry schools have lately
received appointments as assistants in
the forest service. There is n growing
interest in the profession OF forestry,
and many young men are asking how
20 set into It and what rewards It
promises. Recently the chief of the
forest service wrote on this subject az
follows:
To be a good forester man should
combine something OF the naturalist
with a good deal OF the business man
To know how to uee the forest he must
be abba to study Il. 70 must have thero-
fore the power OF Observation, a fond
ness for nature and t.c ability to pcne-
trate her secrets. But II he 10 to sue
ceed ho must also have good practical
judgment and the ability to handle men
He must be resourceful able to stand by

Of rough life and capable OF commanding

recognise vtrility and genuincneas OF
character. but will not tolerate pretense
or the assumption Of authority for

and work out problems far from outside
help. relying solely upon himself. He
ought to be hard to whip.
On the national forests the assistants
often act as advisers to the super
visors in charge, who are experienced
in all practical matters, but have not
had technical training In the science
of forestry, or the assistants may be
assigned to the study Of some partfcu-
lar problem which needs TO be investi-
gated In the interest OF good forest
management. As scientific forestry
means knowing how to get the most

According to the seventh annual re-
port of the government on statistics
Of mortality for the year 1906 for cities
containing as much as 10 per cent or
over OF colored people. the death rate
of the white population was 1732 per
thousand and that of the negro race
ISL. or more than Go per cent higher.
In the state Of Maryland the mortal
lty rate for the colored was 321.G aS
compared with 1iG.I for the white. and
similar high rates of death In the
negro race are shown for all cities
with large colored population. For
instance, in Mobile. Ala, the rate for
the colored was G25.2 and for the white
e28.2.
Here is statistical study. Ever
since the negroes were set free The
death rate has been increasing, and
this Increase has been made the basis
Of a claim that determination by dis.
ease would ultimately solve the race

A forward march Of the school
teachers in the right direction is what
the Chicago Interior calls the action
of the National Education association
with respect to the Bible in the
schools at the recent annual conven-
lion. The action referred to was n
resolution upon the subject Of charac'
ter trimming as follows:
We earnestly recommend to boards OF
education. principals and teachers tho
continuous training of pupils In morals
and In business and professional ethics
to the end that the coming generation OF
men of affairs may have n well developed
abhorrence of unfair dealing and dis
elimination.
Tho National Education association
wishes to record Its approval of the In
creasing appreciation among educators of
the fact that the building of character IA
the real aim OF the schools.
We hope for such n change Of public
sentiment will permit and encourage
the reading and study OF the English
Bible.
The Interior holds that the above
declaration for the Bible as stand
ard Of moral ethics is especially salts
factory because the state has the un-
disputed right to uphold social mo
rality which covers Justice and truth
between man and man." and what II
intends to maintain az the standards
Of conduct It should duly Inform It's

tho Bible as the standard the In

history that nations which have OBJ
served the morality OF the Scriptures
