BILTMORE'S PROGRAM. 



The Biltmore Forest School has made 

 arrangements to have a camp in the for-

 emphasis laid on the development of the 

 young forester along lines of logging and

 winter 1913-14 will be placed in the woods, 

 to work a prenticeship in logging and 

 milling, under the auspices of a graduate
