Herewith find an order OF the postmas-
ter general in regard to admitting
bodies of wild animals or birds TO the
mails. This order will be of great in
terest to all persons in the state who
have any thought of killing quail and
other such birds and sending them to
friends through the mails. For this
reason, I think, 1t would be a good
idea for you to publish the order.

Forest Conservation and
Choctawhatchee Reserve.

A friend OF The Journal sends the
rcs1cw4ns from the Savannah Press,
with his endorsement and a few i'd
dftional suggestions,
The forestry committee OF tho con-
servatton congress reached the con-
clusion. at the close of their delibera-
lions. that Progress In forestry de-
ponds more upon what the public per-
u14ts than upon what foresters and
lunbermen perform"
As q consequences OF this conclusion
the committee reahed a second conclu-
sion. which was that public education
was the thing Of prime Importance
ing the public Is a matter calling for
special study. Since no one else has
the necessary knowledge of the forest
ers and lumber men, the responsibility
OF imparting and disseminating this
knowledge naturally falls upon them.
Tt is not alone the forests which
those who are familiar with this great
economic problem desire to see perpe-
tuated, and not until the people gem
orally grasp the principle that their
present and future welfare IS closely
connected with these schemes OF con-
servation can the specialists, who see
and understand the Public needs.
achieve the good ends for which they
are striving.
In the proper management OF a coun-
try, run for and by the people, the
problem of how to keep the people in
touch with the various lines of spe-
cia1 inquiry necessary to their general
welfare and development becomes ex-
tremely complex. More and more does
the need for a widening consciousness
of unity make itself realized among
the people OF this vast and widespread
country Especially IN these questions
OF forest, flood and river treatment
does the call for the common good ring
out beyond the special interests of men
and communities and stretch beyond
the boundaries which divide the people
OF America into their various states
II is of the utmost Importance that
the men of the United States shall
realize the breath of these great Ques-
lions and learn to think in terms which
are national and general in their ap-
plicatton.
