 149. 1920.— The establishment of one or more agricultural colleges in Czecho-Slovakia is 

 being considered. This leads to a discussion of forestry education in general in the old 

 Austrian Empire and its present tendencies in the component states. In general there seems 

 to be a tendency to start more schools than the small size of the states -warrants. — F. S. Baker.

 [The German forestry college instruction in Czecho-Slovakia.] Wiener Allg. Forst- u. Jagd- 

 zeitg. 38: 190-191. 1920.— The German Section of the Agricultural Council for Bohemia has 

 a project under consideration for the establishment of a forestry college in Czecho-Slovakia. 

 There are 3 alternatives: (1) Establishment of a new school; (2) establishment of a forestry 

 branch of some technical college, perhaps at Prague or Brunn ; (3) transformation of the Higher 

 Forest Academy at Reichstadt. The 1st plan gives the most freedom of choice as to location, 

 etc., but is expensive. The 2nd is inexpensive and has the advantage that a portion of the 

 faculty is already furnished; but the location in a big city is undesirable. The 3rd plan 

 has been adopted and presented to the government. It calls for the taking over of the Reich- 

 stadt Academy, the latter to be established as an independent branch of the Prague Technical 

 College.— F. S. Baker.
