The four-)ear course is more comprehensive and includes 

 among other things chemistr}% physics, advanced silviculture and 

 the preparation of a thesis on some forest subject. 



The faculty consists of employees of the Bureau who are 

 assigned to the Forest School staff temporarily. 



The chief field for graduates of this school is in the govern- 

 ment forest service, which has already absorbed the two classes, 

 comprising forty-two men, which have left the institution. 



These men, on appointment, receive a salary of $25 to $30 

 (gold.) 



The marked improvement noted in the efficiency of the native 

 force since the school has been established, is sufficient proof 

 of its great value and it is to be hoped that the institution may 

 be continued and placed on a sound financial basis in the near 

 future. 



It is neither practicable nor desirable that the majority of tlie 

 Bureau staff should be composed of Americans and it is' believed 

 that the way has now been paved for the upbuilding of an ef- 

 fective native force which will handle the valuable forest re- 

 sources of the Islands in a wise and conservative manner.

 forests. 



The author has brought together in a very clear and readable 

 form a vast amount of material which is of especial value to 

 the forester who is concerned in any way with grazing. While 

 it is written primarily for foresters, it will also prove of great 

 value to practical stockmen, especially the chapters on Range
