Part of the government's exhibit
for the Panama California exposition j
at San Diego leaves Washington this i
week. This portion has to do with j
the national forests of New- Mexico, i
and will be shown in the New Mexico
building, the exhibit having been
prepared In co-operation with the
State board of exposition commissioners
of that State. The material
also shows specimens of the principal
timber trees of New Mexico and
their uses.
vmer exposition material is to
leave soon for San Francisco, where
It will form a part of the Panama
Pacific exposition. Part of this Is
being prepared through co-operation
between the forest service and the
United States civil service commission.
The commission passes on the
qualifications of all candidates for
positions in the forest service, testing
the fitness of those who wish to
become forest officers through outdoor
examinations in riding, surveying,
timber estimating, and similar
mattors as well as by more conven,
tion&l methods; Its exhibit will Illustrate
the dqtlee of these officers.
Co-operation also exists, in the
preparation of exhibit material, between
the ^brest eervKce and the
' bureau of education. This shows
how lorest subjects are used In the
public schools. In connection with
nature study, commercial geography,
agriculture, and th^ like. One of the'
exhibits is a display made by the
normal school pupils of the District
of Columbia, in which a number of
those who are studying for teachers'
poeitlons entered a prize contest on
tree study. Each of the contestants
prepared a separate exhibit showing
the life history and the products
of individual trees, such as white
pine, hickory, or sugar maple.
