30^ Forestry Quarterly. 



graduate course to run from July 7 to June 20, covering during 

 this time the whole field of forestry studies, and specializing for 

 a second, academic year in one of four directions, namely Ope- 

 ration of Forests, Wood Technology, Forest Entomology, Den- 

 drology. 



During the first year, seven and a half months are spent in the 

 woods, and the first option also contemplates largely occupation 

 in the woods. The real forestry student will, of course, elect the 

 first option, when what has been crammed in the first year may 

 be digested at more leisure. It must be considered an oversight 

 that for entrance a B. A. degree is required, without any condi- 

 tion as to the preliminary, fundamental sciences the student 

 should have had for the degree. 



From a letter by Major Ahern, we learn that the Philippine 

 Forest School is thriving, the class of 191 3 graduating with 28

Mr. Sydney L. Moore, formerly Assistant District Forester in

 quarters. 



Mr. Fred. E. Olmstead has severed his connection with Fisher 

 and Bryant, taking up consulting work for himself at 11 Milk 

 street, Boston, Mass. 



The Canadian Forestry Association will hold a special con- 

 vention on July 7-9 in Winnipeg under the auspices of the Pro- 

 vincial Government of Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg. 



Farmers' plantations, windbreaks, and other phases of prairie 

 planting will occupy naturally the largest share of the discussion. 



The Republic of China is progressive enough to have instituted 

 a Department of Agriculture and Forestry, with Mr. C. S. Choo, 

 a very able man, at the head. Detail of the organization is not 

 at hand.
