All these are forest officers except the professors of agriculture, 
German, and military science; and none of them, except the 
professor of agriculture, who is Dean of the Faculty of Science at 
Nancy, have any other duties. The salary of the Director rises 
from £360 to £480, with £80 a year as sumptuary allowance. 
The professors of forestry, natural history, law, and applied 
mathematics receive, on first appointment, £80 a year in addition 
to the pay of their grade, whatever it may be; but if, after some 
years, they desire to be permanently attached to the school, they 
may be removed from the active list, on a salary rising from £280 
to £360 a year, when they are entitled to a higher rate of pen- 
sion than they would otherwise receive. The assistants take 
part in the instruction under the control and guidance of the 
professors, whom they are in training to succeed ; they receive 
£40 a year in addition to the pay of their grade. The salaries 
of the professors of agriculture, German, and military science 
are fixed from time to time, the maximum rate being £240. 
The appointments of Deputy-director and Inspector of studies 
do not entitle their holders to any extra pay ; but these officers, 
as well as the Director, have free quarters at the school. The 
staff is completed with an accountant, two adjutants (corre- 
sponding to sergeant-majors), a librarian, a gate-keeper, and 
other subordinates. 
The Director of the school is the President, and the professors 
and assistants are the members, of a Council of Instruction, which 
assembles at the school from time to time to consider any matter 
which may be brought before it by the Director.
