SCHOOL OF FORESTRY.
BLOCKING THE WAT. BATTLE OF THE SITES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The annual conference of the New Zealand Forestry League was held last evening. In the absence of Sir James Wilson, Mr. Leigh Hunt presided. The many activities of the league during the past year were detailed. "Until we have an established school of forestry," said Sir James in an address read to the meeting, "there is always a necessity for the. league. The battle for sites for a school stops the. way as far as selection is concerned. New Zealand is practically at the end of timber which will stand weather and wet in the open. The stand-by of the earlier settlers has gone." Mr. James Deans (Canterbury) -was elected chairman, and the executive comprises Messrs. Hoggard, Hunt, Macintosh, Ellis, Orchiston, Denton, Wood, Phillips, Turner, Holmes, Sanderson, and Seed.
