FORESTRY IN SCHOOLS
Government Department asks
Teachers to Cooperate in
Valuable Study,
INTERESTING LETTER ADDRESSED
BY CHIEF FORESTER TO TEACHERS.

Teachers throughout the coun-
try have been invited by the
United States Forester to cooper
ate with the Forest Service in
an effort to obtain more definite
knowledge of the characteristics
of the most important forest
trees of the United States. To
do this it will be necessary to
obtain a large number of volun-
teer observers who will collect
material on the time of leafng,
poisoning, and fruiting of the
various kinds of forest trees. In
his letter inviting the coopera-
tion of the teachers. Forester
Pinchot says.
knowledge of this kind is
greatly needed and will be of
value from the standpoint both
of education and of practical for
estry. For educational purposes
and results obtained for cash
species, averaged and presented
graphically by means of colored
charts, Will be available to all
who are interested in the sub
ject, and particularly to schools.
They will form virtual stree
calendars. 4" and will be valuable
aids to nature study.
"Children can readily be In
terested in the actual work Of
obtaining records. This should
form an attractive outdoor fea-
ture of the school work that
should serve to develop the fac
ulty of accurate observation,
and at the same time to promote
an interest in forestry which
may lead to a better apnrecia-
tion of It's aims and methods.
1t may also prove to be a prof.
table addition to botany courses
for older students.
"a study of this kind will be
of great value to practical for
estry, since the proper treat
ment of forests depends partly
upon a knowledge of these char
acteristlcs of trees. For example,
the time of year at which tree
leafs out and blossoms is one of
the indications as to whether or
not it is frost'hardy in a gwen
region, and the length of
time that a tree is in leaf influ-
ences the growth it is able to
make during the season. Knowl-
edge of the time when seeds of
each species ripen in various To-
calities is Of great value to
those who are collecting seed,
since seed often deteriorates or
is eaten by squirrels and birds if
not gathered and stored as soon
as ripe.
Another result of this study
will be a more intimate knowl-
edge of climate as manifested by
plant growth, for differences in
climate are shown by plant life
as well as by instruments, and
preliminary idea can thus be
gained as to whether a given re-
gion is suited to valuable tree
which it is desired to introduce
there. Many such examples
could be given, but sufficient has
been said to show that the results
Of these observations will be a
real help to practical forestry, in
addition to their general inter-
est ana educational value. Vol
unteers will later be supplied
with publications and charts con-
tanning the information they
help gather, as return for the
services rendered"
On request, the Forest Service
wall be glad to send forms upon
which to record data and pam
phlet containing full instruction.

HARTMAN HOPES HIGH
Financicr, Departing for Europe.
Talks Most OptimisticaIIy.
DECLARES THAT PROSPERITY
IS HERE TO STAY.

eve of his departure from Eu-
rope, e. HI. Hartman, worn in
body but alert of mind AMI vigor.
Gus of spirit, today analysed the
conditions which had MADE pos
sihle the panic of 1907 and gave
his reasons for believing that
whatever dangers had existed for
a return of these conditions were
now passed.
"The business of the country is
now on very substantial basis"
said Mr.. Harryman. All that is
needed now is a realization on
the part of the farmers of the
p re parations for prosperity
which have been 80 literally
made. There are now more acres
in cultivation than ever before
in the history of the country, and
if we have favorable weather and
correspondlngly large crops, l
look for happy times. There
will be a big burst of speculation
and rise in the price of every
thing, but these will quickly
grade down from the top to
whatever level the crops will
make logical.
81 shall look to see the i'm
provement in conditions 60 on.
The time is ripe, however, for
warning as to the proper employ
ment of idle money. We should
be careful that this money be not
devoted to the supposed develop
ment of fake projects, but on the
contrary, used In the upbuilding
of real undertaking resting npon
solid foundations.
"There was no necessity for the
1907 panic. That panic was
directly caused by the extraordi-
nary Lands decision and the
general attitude prevailing at
the time against the railroads
and corporations generally.
"There is no mistake about
this. l know what 1 am talking
about, because l went through
it all. 1t was panic of senti-
ment-a disaster caused by the
fear of something that did not
happen. 1t frightened people
into Withdrawing their money
from circulation.
"The next panic will be some
thing more serious because iC will
be due to shrinkage of business.
As far as the mental attitude of
the public is concerned, we are
on a saner basis today than we
were in 1907. If we keep going
up, however, and come down, it
will hurt more after we have
gone up three or four Stories"
A question as to the ultimate
action of Congress as regards
the tariffs he dismissed with
a shrug, saying:
"Don't think that the tariff
Legislation will be of much i'm
portance. Good weather and
good crops Will have u much
greater effort on business than
the tariff"
A question as to the ultimate
reduction of the yield of invest
ed capital brought the reply that
nifty years hence b per cent DIV
ldenGs would be considered as
remarkable as 10 per cent diyi-
dends were today.
Mr.. Hartman reiterated his
conviction that new laws per-
hitting alliances of railways in
order to permit better develop
ments were necessary. The hys-
terra of thought which had
countenanced existing laws re-
tarding progress and hamperinP
great undertakings had in q
great measure disappeared, he
fell, and in its place there wat

AIRS. Taft and Mrs Sherman sat in
the carriages beside their husbands in
the inaugural parade This was an in
noyation, but, as our new President and
vice president are both of them believers
in equal suffrage, it was natural that
they should like TO have their wives
