xA-t a recent meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of 

 Washington, the name of the College of Forestry was changed to Col- 

 lege of Forestry and Lumbering. While the term forestry, when viewed 

 in its broadest sense, embraces lumbering, the work at the University 

 of Washington has broadened out so as to cover practically every 

 phase of the lumbering industry, and in this respect differs from prac- 

 tically all other forest schools. In addition to the work ordinarily 

 covered in the forestry curriculum. Washington offers opportunities 

 for specialization in general forest products, logging engineering, and 

 the business of lumbering, the latter including new courses in milling 

 and marketing. Expansion along these lines was necessary to meet the 

 needs of the industry in the Pacific Northwest. The courses in logging, 

 engineering, and forest products have now become thoroughly estab- 

 lished and won recognition in the industry to the extent that the de- 

 mand for the graduates, particularly in logging engineering, has far 

 exceeded the supply. It is expected that the same will be true in the 

 course covering the business of lumbering as soon as this becomes well 

 established. 



The American overseas army will soon find forestry exhibits in some 

 of the Y. M. C. A. huts in France. Four special collections of models, 

 bromides, etc., have been made up as part of the Department of Ag- 

 riculture exhibits to be shown in co-operation with the Y. M. C. A., 

 and these are being loaded on the steamer this week. C. A. Lindstrom 

 is the Forest Service representative and will be in charge of one of 

 the four circuits to be covered by the Department exhibits. The pur- 

 pose of the work is to help in the back-to-the-soil movement and to 

 give the soldiers an opportunity to learn something of the various 

 phases of farming and forestry. The Forest Service exhibits show 

 farm forestry, fire protection, erosion, windbreaks, and post treating. 



M. Thiery, one of the best known of French foresters, died on 

 November 16, 1918, at the age of 'JJ. Some 33 years of his life were 

 devoted to teaching at the National School of Waters and Forests at
