424 Forestry Quarterly 



A successful outcome in this case will mean the planting within 

 the next few years of many areas on this mountain. Thus will 

 firewood be available either for local use or for disposal in 

 Manila. 



Upon the suggestion of Mr. H. E. Fletcher, of the Fletcher 

 Paper Company, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of 

 the Technical Section of the American Pulp and Paper Associa- 

 tion, several manufacturers have contributed to a fund to establish 

 scholarships in paper manufacture at the University of Michigan. 

 The first of these scholarships to be established has been awarded 

 for next year to a graduate student who is to devote the entire 

 year to the study of manufacture of paper and to the investiga- 

 tion of some important problem connected with this industry. 

 These scholarships are preliminary to the establishment of a 

 course in paper manufacture at Michigan University similar to 

 that given at the University of Maine, which is this year sending 

 out graduates. 



During the last winter a number of District Foresters of Brit- 

 ish Columbia gave instruction and practice in cruising, surveying, 

 and scaling to rangers and forest guards. The trial having proved 

 successful and been appreciated, it has been decided to hold these 

 ranger schools, so called, every winter. 



The Department of Forestry of the New York State College of 

 Agriculture at Cornell University conducted this year a sum- 

 mer term offering instruction in timber utilization and measure- 

 ment, silviculture, forest management, and advanced research into 

 various forest problems. The first six weeks of the term were 

 taken up with lectures at Ithaca, and the rest of the time until 

 September 22 will be spent in camp in the Adirondacks. 



At the University of Giessen there were thirty students en- 

 rolled in forestry, but twenty-one of these are in the army. The 

 other nine are underclassmen and hence not yet ready for lectures 

 in forestry. These lectures have in fact been omitted during the 

 past semester, especially since two members of the forestry 

 faculty, Weber and Baader, are with the army. 



Most of the other forest schools are in the same condition.
