PREFACE 



THIS outline was first published in 1912 for the use of 

 students of the senior class of the Yale School of Forestry 

 and for others who might wish a guide to aid them in the 

 preparation of a report on the field operations of a lumber 

 company. An effort has been made to include the general 

 methods and practices in all forest regions, hence certain 

 topics which appear in the outline will not apply to 

 specific operations, and on the other hand there may be 

 omissions of certain details which apply to local conditions 

 and which the student should cover. 



Acknowledgment is hereby made to the various alumni 

 and others who have furnished criticisms and suggestions 

 of the first outline which have been of great aid in pre- 

 paring this revision. 



New Haven, Connecticut, 

 March i, 1922.
