Launching Forest
Survey Of U. S.
PROJECT ONE OF BIGGEST EN
TERPRISES EVER UNDER
TAKEN IN THIS COUN
TRY TO DEVELOP
FORESTRY
The promotion by the U. S. For
est Service of District Forester C.
M. Granger of the Pacific North
west District to the position of
bead forest economist in charge of
the nation-wide Forest Survey now
being launched by the Forest Serv
ice, was announced today by the
Department of Agriculture.
The - Forest Survey, authorized
by the McSweCney-McNary Act of
1928, is one of the biggest under
takings in the development of for
estry thus far undertaken. It will
be a comprehensive appraisal of
existing forest supplies and con
ditions, growth and requirements,
and of present and future trends,
all of which, when properly co
ordinated, will constitute a fund
amental and economically sound
basis for determining Federal,
State, and industrial forest poli
cies and programs. Congress has
authorized a Federal contribution
of $3,000,000 to the project. A small
Initial appropriation of $40,000 is
available this year.
Success in developing the pro
ject will depend upon widespread
co-operation with Federal and
State and industrial and other
private agencies, says the Forest
Service. Certain phases of the
survey, such as the forest resource
inventory and the study of growth,
will be handled by the regional
forest experiment stations under
the general direction of Mr. Gran
ger.
Because of its outstandingly
complex and important forest
problems, the Pacific Northwest
has been selected as the region for
the beginning of intensive work.
The Pacific Northwest Forest Ex
periment Stetion, of which T. T.
Munger is director, has already
commenced preliminary work. The
study will be extended as rapidly
as possible to other forest regions,
and will eventually cover the entire
United States.
Another step already taken is a
canvass, in co-operation with the
U. S. Bureau of the Census, of the
wood requirements of the wood
using industries, as a part of the
present and future wood require
ments phase of the Survey. Ad
vance co-operative work is also be
ing initiated in the Lake States
region.
The Agricultural Appropriation
Bill now before Congress carries
an increase ®f $85,000 for the For
est Survey for the next fiscal
year. It is planned to use $50,000
of this to expand the work in the
Pacific Northwest, $25,000 to in
itiate intensive work in the South
ern hardwood region, and $10,000
for individual assignment.
Mr. Granger is a graduate in
forestry of Michigan Agricultural
College. He entered the Forest
Service in 1907, serving successive
ly as deputy supervisor, supervisor,
and assistant district forester in
charge of the offices of silviculture
and of operation in the Rocky
Mountain District. During the
World War he served with the 10th
Forestry Engineers, attaining the
rank of Major. In 1924 he became
district forester of the Pacific
Northwest District. He will enter
his new work with a wide experi
ence in the development of silvi
cultural policies, management
plans, fire protection plans and
with a comprehensive understand
ing of the economic aspects of
forestry.
Mr. Granger assumes his new du
ties immediately, with headquart
ers temporarily in Portland, Ore.
The Forest Service also an
nounces the appointment of Hor-.
'ace J. Andrews as senior forest
economist, to become regional pro
ject leader for the Pacific North
west. He will assume his duties
at the Pacific Northwest Forest
Experiment Station this month.
Mr. .Andrews is a graduate of the
University of Michigan and receiv
ed the M. S. degree in forestry
from that institution in 1916. He
was formerly employed in the U.
S. Forest Service, and later en
gaged in private forestry work and
in teaching at three forest schools.
He was closely associated with the
development of the Michigan Land
Economic Survey, and more recent
ly has been in charge of the div
isions of protection and lands in
the Michigan Department of Con
servation.

XXX
Wise Men Often
Change Opinion
The Advisory Committee on Na
tional Illiteracy has announced
that it will urge the Census Bu
reau to make a complete record
of the illiterates in the United
States in the 1930 census. The
committee elected Secretary Wil
bur of the Department of the In
terior as its permanent chairman.
In the opening conference, Sec
retary Wilbur said that the act
ual facts concerning illiteracy had
never been adequately gathered
and that the first purpose of the
present study was to assemble
facts. After these facts are as
sembled, the committee will be
expected to recommend remedies
and methods which seem most
likely to reduce illiteracy to the
minimum.
As stated, Secretary Wilbur rec
ommends remedies. A subcom
mittee, headed by Mr. Houston und
composed of former Governor
Nestos, of North Dakota, and Dr'.
M. L. Brittain, president of the
Georgia Institute of Technology,
hit more dicectly at the problem.
It drew up a resolution, which the
committee as a whole adopted,
declaring that illiteracy was a
Rational problem and should be
dealt with on a national basis.
This is in accord with the senti
ment expressed and urged by the
National Education Association
and many other educational and
patriotic organizations for a num
ber of years. They have made a
thorough study of the problem,
have investigated it from every
angle, and have long held that
it could only be adequately dealt
with through a national agency.-
This has been one of the primary
reasons for the insistent demands
for the establishment of a De
partment of Education. Bills for
this purpose have been held up
and delayed in Congress for no
apparent reason.
While it may be true that no
complete record of illiteracy in this
country has ever been made, as
stated by Mr. Wilbur, yet, it has
been no secret that the per cent-
age in comparison with the pros
perity has been and is very large.
During the World War it was
startling to learn that nearly 20
( per cent of those drafted could
neither read nor write. Since that
time some progress has been made
in the reduction of the disgrace
ful amount of illiteracy in this
country. But still, almost within
the very shadow of the Nation’s
Capitol, there are those who can
only make their signature through
the use of a cross mark ,to whom
the meaning of printed words is a
mystery and who have yet to see
the inside wails of a school room.
In practically every state there
are large numbers of b#ys and
girls who have been denied even
a semblance of an education.
A number of states have taken
measures to give all of their citi
zens an education. And, in each
instance it has been necessary to
spend vast sums in research to
find the best method to approach
the problem and to waste a good
deal of time in experimentation.
The want of national unity, some
central guiding force in tjje fight,
has been sadly felt. The result
has been a large amount of dupli
cation of effort and useless ex
penditure of money.
These facts are not new. R is
more deplorable that they have
been a matter of common knowl
edge for so long and still remain
true. The situation has been ex
plained at joint educational com
mittee hearings of Congress time
and time again. They all agree
that something should be done.
Yet nothing is done. No action
is taken towards a national solu
tion of this vital problem.
