Dr, C. A. Schenck, Forester of the Biltmore Estate and Director 

 of the Biltmore Forest School, is at his home in Darmstadt, Ger- 

 many, enjoying a well-earned rest during December and January. 



While Dr. Schenck is away his assistant. Dr. C. D. Howe, is Act- 

 ing Forester and Acting Director. In his instruction work Dr. 

 Schenck is being substituted by John Foley, of the U. S. Forest 

 Service, who lectures on Forest Mensuration from November 15th 

 to December 2 2d, and Alfred Akerman, of the University of Georgia, 

 who lectures on Forest Policy from January 7th to February 9th. 



It appears from a notice in the Canadian Lumberman that Dr. J. 

 F. Clark, the efficient Forester of the Province of Ontario, has 

 abandoned his post to engage in a lumbering enterprise in British 

 Columbia. We suspect that not only financial advantages were the 

 motives for this change.
