COLLEGE OF FORESTRY 31 



SPECIAL SHORT COURSES IN FORESTRY, LOGGING 

 AND LUMBERING 



Session 1917 January 2 to March 28 



EXPLANATION. The short courses in Forestry at the Univer- 

 sity of Washington are offered for the benefit of persons engaged 

 in some phase of the timber industry and who desire to increase 

 their efficiency, but who cannot take the time required for a 

 broader course. In outlining the courses a special effort has been 

 made to have them simple, concise and thoroughly practical. The 

 work is given by means of lectures, quizzes, laboratory and field 

 practice. Although the time is only of twelve weeks' duration, 

 our location and our equipment enable us to do thorough work
