Not only are such plants more important to the beginner but we wish also to avoid the wholesale destruction of our delicate woodland plants by large college classes. The examination will be based particularly on the groups of plants suggested above. Each student who fails signally in the examination will be conditioned in the course.

A comprehensive collection alone does not necessarily, and in the case of the present arboretum does not, demonstrate appropriate cultural practices.

Several, either as components of or in association with universities, provide professional and postgraduate training in botanical science and in various aspects of horticulture. Both activities provide a sound basis for developing a stronger conservation focus.

On page 27, after referring to the past era in which the nine agencies had developed independently and had become the subjects of "encystment," the Report speaks of the fact that there has been "no effective administrative mechanis …
