subject in the agricultural school at Keszthely, and, 

 in 1808, in the school of mines in Schemnitz (Selmecz 

 banya), a German forester Wilkins filling the chair, 

 while a special forest school was established at Her- 

 mannstadt in 1817. 



The forestry courses at Schemnitz were enlarged 

 and the school re-organized in 1846 and again in 1872; 

 one of the changes being the use of the Hungarian 

 language in its instruction, which had originally been 

 in German. In 1904, the course, which was 3 years and 

 only optionally 4 (one year for engineering education), 

 was made 4 years for all, and is obligatory for all 

 higher grade State officials. 



In Croatia-Slavonia, which is in many respects 

 separately administered, an agricultural and forestry 

 school exists at Kreutz (Koros) with a three-year 

 course. 



For the lower service four schools of two-year 

 courses have been established by the government, 

 the instruction being given by practitioners, and some 

 of the students receiving free tuition. 



A forest experiment station was established in 

 1898; it issues a quarterly magazine, Irdeszeti Kiser- 

 letek, in which its results are recorded. 



A Hungarian forestry association was formed in 

 1866; it issues a monthly journal, distributes pam- 

 phlets, gives prizes for literary effort, etc., and is, with 

 over 2000 members, an active agent in the work of 

 reform. A separate forestry association, which also 

 publishes a monthly in the Slavish language, exists 

 in Croatia.
