AMERICAN FORESTRY 



largely in the field — from September 10 to 

 December 1, and from April 1 to June 28, 

 on the College Reserve at Manitou Park. 

 From December 1 to April 1, the course will 

 be conducted at Colorado Springs. 



The installation of this course is the re- 

 sult of the success of the ten-weeks ranger 

 course given last winter. 



At the same time the proportion of field 

 work in the regular two-year technical course 

 is to be greatly increased. The students will 

 be at Manitou Park the same time as the 

 rangers. 



Ranger Course Closes 



The students of the first ranger school 

 finished their work in the department of 

 Forestry at the University of Idaho on Fri- 

 day, March 8. Thirteen students registered 

 for this course, two of whom are already 

 employed as rangers in the Forest Service; 

 two others have decided to remain in the 

 forest school and complete the entire four- 



year course. The others will endeavor to 

 secure employment in forestry work during 

 the summer and either return to pursue 

 additional forestry courses in the autumn 

 or take the rangers examinations and enter 

 he Government Service permanently. 



Mr. Start's Position 



Edwin A. Start, for three years past the 

 secretary of the American Forestry Asso- 

 ciation, has gone to Seattle, where he be- 

 came the director of the university exten- 

 sion work in the University of Washington. 

 Mr. Start has done notable service in the 

 forestry association for nearly ten years, 

 having been secretary of the Massachusetts 

 association before taking up the larger post. 

 The position in the Northwest is a large 

 on°, the university having 3,000 students and 

 having grown the last ten years with great 

 speed. It is interesting that it was begun 

 when the city had only one hundred and 

 forty-nine inhabitants.
