SUGGESTIONS FROM ALUMNI 



Seattle, Wash., April 2, 1917. 

 Dear Foresters: 



It has been almost fourteen months since I placed my feet under the 

 "Wood Tech" table and distinguished a piece of fir from one of hemlock. 

 During the intervening period many ideas which remained in confusion 

 while in school have been correlated. As I have been requested to express 

 my views in regard to the relation between the work in the school and 

 outside, I have assembled several ideas which I consider stand out from 

 among the rest. 



There is no need to speak of the value of a good technical training 

 in this day and age. The extent to which it can be used and the value 

 derived from it will of course depend upon local conditions and the good 

 judgment exercised by the individual. I believe that I am safe in saying 

 that there is niot a single course offered in the Forestry School which if 

 taken will not prove helpful either directly or indirectly at some time. 



Another essential requirement that has been impressed upon me is 

 the importance of system. The systematizing of all one's work in school 

 will simplify and save unnecessary labor to such an extent that it will 

 enable one to do more work with a great deal less effort. I have found it 

 pays to have some definite plan for recording and keeping notes, especially 

 if it is necessary to refer to them often. One can not realize how much 

 more efficient his work will be until he has tried both methods. 



There is one opportunity for training at school which has always 

 impressed me favorably and that is along the line of student activities. I 

 believe it would be helpful for each student to enter into some one activity 

 outside of the Forestry School and hanidle it to the best of his ability. 



I do not mean to imply that he should engage in too many enter- 

 prises and let his school work suffer for such action would not only be fool- 

 ish but entirely unnecessary. But what I do believe will be beneficial is 

 the acquiring of ability to handle some new proposition, and having suc- 

 ceeded, to feel that something has been accomplished. Of course good 

 judgment should be used in matters of this kind as too much time spent 

 in this way is worse than none at all. 



There is very little to be said about my work since leaving school. I 

 have been in the field most of the time but for the last four months my 

 work has been in the Seattle office of the James D. Lacey Co. I have found 

 this firm very considerate indeed to a man just out of school. 



It is very gratifying to note the interest taken by Dr. Suzzallo, who
