Kind of Work — 80% of these men are in technical or execu- 

 tive forestry work; 8% are teaching forestry; and 12% are 

 now engaged in work other than forestry.

 $2,500 (maximum) per annum. 



2 men (8%) receive not more than $750 per annum

Present Positions — Graduates of the school are in the employ 

 of the United States Forest Service and in charge of important 

 state, private, and educational forestry work. Six of these 

 are already employing students during the summer vacation 

 and assisting them in securing permanent positions after grad-

 Master of Forestry. 



Approval of Course — They are unanimous in affirming that

 other than strictly forestry — such as horticulture and work in 

 connection with wood using industries — agreed in this opinion. 



Suggestions — It has been suggested that a closer cooperation 

 between the Forestry department and the local lumber interests 

 would be advantageous to both, and that the department should 

 be further developed along the present lines.

This Department has been in existence for nine years and 

 seven classes have now graduated, not including the present 

 year's. The reports from these graduates show that the school 

 has been doing good work ; that there is a field for men properly 

 trained in technical forestry and that the graduates of this 

 school are "making good" in the work of their chosen profes-

 and the number of schools and colleges giving courses in fores-
