The requirements for a full-fledged higher 



Education education in forestry are formulated by Dr. 



of Wagner for German conditions as follows : 



Foresters. 1. Better mathematical preparation in the 



preparatory schools. 



2. Fuller theoretical education at a university by increasing 

 the duration of studies from seven semesters to nine, and creation 

 of fellowships for the still further increase of education for se- 

 lected men. 



3. Organization of the practical education into thorough and 

 systematic courses. 



4. Regular continuation courses in theory and practice of a few 

 weeks duration for officials. 



Dr. Wimmenauer objects to the increase of the study time on 

 the ground that in German Universities where attendance is not 

 enforced many students will only waste more time, and prefers 

 to attain the object by increasing entrance requirements.
