Yet, beâ€" ing blessedly nondescript as to peflod,1 they settle down and appear equally at home in the most varied deconuve‘ schemes. Further, if the chair is to be painted or stained to fit in with a decorative scheme, the cost may be lessened by using the least expensive wood that neverthcless remains honest and good.

If protection of the forests is to become instinctive, it must have a foundation of accurate knowlodge ingrained durâ€" ing the plastic hours of youth. As yet, the schools of Canada, broadly speakâ€" ing, have treated the forest in their curricula merely as one of the re sources, usually the subject for na tional selfâ€"satisfaction and without discussion of the duties of citizenship thereto.
