Now comes Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry
association, who urges the beautifica-
tion of roads. Mr. Pack suggests that
we cease building monuments for at
least ten years, until the proper per-
spective can be given the situation,
and that all the roads of the country,
old and new, be planted in honor of
the men and women who entered war
work. He also suggests that counties
work out plans for the placing of
groves, so that we may in time have
a national extended memorial.
The suggestion has been taken up in
