WHITE MOUNTAIN FOREST.
THE national forests have become
L one Of the great factors in the
life OF the west but they are just be-
ginning to be a factor in the east.
Here the government owns no lands.
and is slowly acquiring them by pur-
chase It already has obtained large
areas in the southern Aueghenies.
and has now nearly 100000 acres in
the White mountains Of New Hamp-
shire.
The White mountains are one OF the
widest tracts which remain in the
northeastern section Of the United
States. Most Of the land is unfit for
agriculture. but originally it con-
tanned some Of the finest forests in
the United States These were rapid
" decimated. First the fine white
pine Of the northern woods was CUT
then the spruce, and finally the small
timber was taken for pulp wood. At
the same time, forest fires were ably
abetttng the work OF destruction
which was carried on by the uucon-
troled lumber industry. As a result
Of these devastating agencies. many
Of the watersheds were denuded and
stream flow was seriously affected
Agitation for federal control Of the
region was begun I'm 1911 and has
finally resulted in the establishment
Of the White Mountain National
forest.
The preservation and restoration Of
the forests is an important consider
alton, but perhaps the fact Of most
account to the average American is
that an area Of this famous American
mountain region has been set aside
as playground open to all. when it
would otherwise have all passed rap
idly into private ownership.

TEACHERS MAY HELP
ACCOMPLISH THIS

The following letter from the

my Dear superintendent Reports
from all parts of the state show that
the attendance at our schools is larger
at present than ever before. We are
proud of this, but the question IS. can
we hold the children in school. We can
rot hold them contented unless we
make the school appeal to child life.
Too many times is school life unnatu-
raj to the child. The lessons taught
are not given a child-life setting.
Not only should the teaching appeal
to child life, but must provide to sat
isty the natural play instinct of the
child. 1t is true that All work and
no play makes Jack dull boy. Play.
