Description
CAPT. BAKER is a forestry officer, not an anthropologist; yet his story of how he enlisted the services of the natives in conservation and afforestation work is an object-lesson in the practical application of knowledge of native custom and psychology to a problem in which the practice of the indigenous inhabitant ran counter to the end which the administration had in view. Probably Capt. Baker's object could not have been attained in any other way. An order framed to constrain native action might have been ignored or even disobeyed; and, in any event, it would almost certainly have led to friction.
