an additional year of graduate work for the degree of Master of 

 Forestry. The course covers the fundamentals of forestry, farm 

 forestry, dendrology, sylviculture, forest protection, mensuration and 

 management, lumbering, utilization, wood technology, sawmill con- 

 struction and mechanics, forest drawing and surveying. In the junior 

 and senior years particular opportunity is allowed for specialization. 



Two two-year courses have been worked out, one to train forest 

 rangers and the other known as the Forest Assistant Course. The 

 former covers certain elementary academic work and the latter is an 

 intensive course devoted entirely to forestry. The enrolment in the 

 Forestry Division for the school year of 1923-24 is 31 students. 



During the summer a forestry camp is maintained in Towns 

 County and twelve weeks of the professional course are spent in 

 practical field forestry work in camp. 



The members of the faculty of the Division of Forestry are: 

 Thomas D. Burleigh, Associate Professor of Forestry; Lewis R. 

 Smith, Adjunct Professor; and DuPre Barrett, Adjunct Professor. 

 Beginning with July I of this year, Mr. Barrett will become extension 

 specialist in forestry and will work with the farmers and county 

 agents throughout the State.
