forester, and to the rapidly decreasing demand in the past four years for 

 pi'ofessionally trained men. While more than 50 institutions have within the 

 p:ist 15 years developed more or less work in forestry education below the grade 

 of full professional training, it is stated that it has largely been without definite 

 aim and poorly suited to the real needs of the country, very little of it even 

 approaching the requirements of the ideal vocational school. In order to best 

 conserve the purposes of forestry education in the United States the author 

 thinks at least two-thirds of the money now expended on professional training 

 could be better spent in the instruction of the public through the organization 

 of institutes, field demonstrations, and similar methods that have been found 

 so effective in agriculture, and in the organization of vocational schools for 

 the training of young men in the art of forestry practice. It is his opinion tliat 

 the progress made in the actual conduct of forestry operations in the woods must 

 center in a large number with some training rather than full professional 

 training, whose knowledge of forestry is chiefly confined to the art of forestry 

 so far as it concerns their own locality, and who do not look for and should 

 not expect a wage beyond which the operations justify. 

 A bibliography of forestry education is appended.
