A SCHOOL NEEDED. (by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, July 16. The annual conference of the New Zealand Forestry League was held. tonight, and, in the absence of Sir James Wilson, Mr Leigh Hunt presided. Many activities of the league during the past year were detailed. “Until we have established a 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 the school stops the way as far as a selection is concerned. New Zealand is iiractically at the end of her timber which will stand the weather and wet in the open, and the standby of the earlier settlers has gone.”.
Mr James Deans (Canterbury) was elected chairman, and the following were elected to the executive: Messrs Hoggard, Hunt, Macintosh, Ellis, Orohiston, Denton, Wood, Phillips, Turner, Holmes, Sanderson and Seed.
