 future of higher forest instruction in Prussia.] Zeitschr. Forst-u. Jagdw. 51 : 353-400. 1919. — 

 This academic discussion of the future of forest instruction in Prussia consists of 3 parts: 



(1) The question of the future of forest instruction in Prussia remains unsolved, and although 

 there exists a present period of inactivity, efforts will have to be exerted to change existing 

 conditions. (2) Raising the standard of the forest academies and the possible transfer of 

 forest instruction to a university. Under present conditions, 2 forest academies cannot 

 exist in Prussia, and the only evident solution in the author's opinion is to concentrate all 

 instruction at the Eberswald academy. (3) How the forest academy of Eberswald can be 

 developed into a full-fledged high school of forest instruction. — J. Roeser.
