local conditions. Especially the penalties are to be toned down, 

 for as regards the morality of actions one must consider the 

 nationality for which the law is made." 



In this forest ordinance all that refers to forest police is to 

 be included, "without reference as to royal, municipal or nobility 

 forests, since his Majesty expressly desires that private forests 

 also shall be properly managed." 



The instruction also includes the statement of expense account, 

 which was a daily rate of about $3.50, including team, and a 

 promise for special remuneration for the work at home. 



No account is given of the execution of this work and the final 

 organization, which undoubtedly collapsed with the cession of 

 the territory. 



For the time being these forests are again under Prussian 

 administration.

POLITICS, EDUCATION AND LEGISLATION 



In 1888, Bavaria created underforester 

 Important schools (IValdbauschulen). Three of 



Changes five were abandoned at the close of the 



in year 1914-1915, and only two, at Kelheim 



Bavaria in southern Bavaria and at Lohr in North- 



ern Bavaria, remain. 

 The reason for this abandonment is found in the excess of 

 supply over demand, even though the number of students in 

 these government schools was restricted. 



The character of instruction at the remaining schools is 

 unchanged. For entrance, a common school education is required 

 and the passing of an examination which involves also the satis- 

 factory proof of fitness for the ranger career. The course covers 

 four years. The first 12 weeks are probationary. A rigid medical 

 examination of all students is made annually. Instruction in for- 

 est management has been curtailed; instruction in stenography 

 and typewriting added. A. B. R,
