Excerpt from Forestry, Vol. 10: A Journal of Forest and Estate Manangement Whilst pleading for oral instruction on behalf of the young forester, we were first to give him special teaching through the press, and we do not propose to vacate the position. Material of permanent educational value will continue to appear in these pages. And, indeed, the programme of our greatest Forestry Schools may suggest the scope and limits of such material. Correspondence and questions from earnest students are solicited. Dining the last three months, our name has been much in the mouths of that general public which so largely enjoyed the benefits of the International Forestry Exhibition. The building in which much of that interest was concentrated, is now dismantled. But Forestry hopes to deepen a permanent interest in the topics it illustrated, as well as in others of special interest to landed proprietors and woodmen. After the playing of the Queen's anthem, and at the call of the large audience who had that day numbered over Sir James gibson-craig closed the International Forestry Exhibition of 1884, on the evening of the second Saturday of October, by a short speech. The financial results of the Exhibition, as they affect the guarantors, are not yet known. But whatever other direct consequences may supervene, over half a million visitors have been interested in forestry, while experts from nearly every country have compared ideas, and elicited new thoughts soon, we hope, to be made apparent either in manufactures or commerce. Without any invidious distinctions, we must refer to the assiduous courtesy of Mr. Cadell, the Secretary, who has filled a difficult position in an admirable way.
