Royal Wurtemburg School of Forestry. 85 



Diplomas are granted at the close of their course to students of 

 rural economy, but some attend only a short period. To these and to 

 students of forest economy an opportunity is given at the close of each 

 session, by written exercises and viva voce examinations, to obtain 

 certificates in regard to their attainments in such of the branches of 

 study as they may desire. 



Prizes also are offered as encouragements to study, and the fact of 

 one or more prizes having been taken relieves the student of the 

 necessity to prepare written exercises while under examination for 

 his diploma. 



A certificate in regard to his attainments can be obtained by the 

 student only in the form of one or more of these certificates given 

 after examination at the close of each session, and only in the case of 

 his having submitted to one or more of these examinations. On special 

 application a student may, while pursuing his studies in the Academy, 

 obtain an interim certificate in regard to his diligence and behaviour. 



In case of any student being expelled, the fees, &c., paid are not 

 returned. This is also the case if permission to leave in the course 

 of a session be applied for and granted. But in case of sickness, or 

 of a summons to military service, on special application, the fees, &c., 

 in question will be repaid. 



For lodging, instruction, and the management of the institution, 

 students of rural economy, if subjects of Wurtemburg, pay 180 marks 

 (£9) per annum ; if foreigners, they pay 500 marks (£25) the first 

 year, and 350 marks (£17 10s.) the second. Students of forest eco- 

 nomy, if subjectsof Wurtemburg, pay also 180 marks (£9) per annum; 

 if foreigners, 350 marks (£17 10s.) each year; and by paying 

 extra fees these latter may also attend classes connected more imme- 

 diately with rural economy, which do not come within the range of 

 their prescribed studies. 



Hospitanten, who are subjects of Wurtemburg, pay for the use of 

 an apartment one mark a day ; but they have to provide their own 

 bed and bedding, and they are free to attend all lectures, and avail 

 themselves of all the means of instruction offered by the Academy. 

 Hospiianten who are foreigners have the same liberty, and they are 

 provided with bed and bedding, for which and the use of the apart- 

 ment they are charged two marks a day. Each of the students has 

 a furnished room, and those who are foreigners are supplied with bed, 

 bedding, and towels ; these three requisites students, subjects of Wur- 

 temburg, provide for themselves. Arrangements may be made for the 

 occupation of better rooms, or for living outside the Academy: these I 

 need not detail. In regard to food each student may make his own 

 arrangements. He may dine outside, or at the college table. The 

 average expense of board is about two marks a day. Those who
