Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society of American Foresters, Vol. 3: October, 1908 It will be the policy of the Editorial Board to secure original articles from men in all branches of forest work, presenting the results of systematic observation and te search; articles describing the work which is being done, its principles, methods, and results; and articles discussing fundamental questions of the theory of forestry, of policy, and of education. All problems of forestry are to be dis cussed, and the board will welcome articles on any subject related to forestry which will contribute towards the de velopment of the science and aid those engaged in its practice. It is the desire of the board that there may be a complete freedom of discussion, for it is only through free discussion that the truth is reached and permanent results secured.
