Excerpt from The Common Trees and Shrubs of Pennsylvania: Native and Introduced
Civilization is the result of commerce and of exchange of ideas. Our books are the products of the forests. Our _ideas of each other, of religion, of patriotism, are determined by and kept alive by the books we read, and by the daily papers.' Diminished forests are making these things more expensive. There may be a time when papers and books will be beyond the reach of the average individual resulting in wide-spread influence and a backward step in civilization.
It is, therefore, evident that the forest and its products enter largely into our every day needs. Everybody loses when timber burns.
