kept down to the minimum. In this way they not only get 

 along with a very reasonable amount of money, but learn 

 to carry all the cares and responsibilities of running a camp. 

 It develops the men's self-reliance as nothing else could do. 



This management of camp affairs does not interfere with 

 the class work in any way. Of course nearly all the work is 

 in the open. Five days in the week from eight o'clock to five 

 the class is busy with problems in sylviculture, mensuration 

 or surveying; but besides this, and of quite as much import- 

 ance, they are continually learning the life of the woods, 

 and the knack of dealing with men in the close intimacy of 

 camp life. 



The members of the class are: 



H. D. Brunelle, Cloquet, Minnesota. 

 A. Erstad, Zumbrota, Minnesota. 

 Thomas A. Griffin, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

 E. Howard Hall, St. Paul, Minnesota. 

 R. B. Haworth, Des Moines, Iowa. 

 N. O. Henchel, Rochester, Minnesota. 

 John Moir, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

 H. D. Nuffer, Hills, Minnesota. 



D. L. Renshaw, Monona, Iowa. 



E. C. Rogers, Hammond, Minnesota. 

 O. M. Savre, Northwood, Minnesota. 

 C. D. Simpson, Northfield, Minnesota. 

 Paul H. Tobin, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

 G. H. Wiggin, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

 H. E. Wyman, Dundas, Minnesota. 



During the month of March Mr. Austin Gary made an in- 

 spection of the slash burning operations in Districts 2, Ranger 

 Eisenach; District 3, Ranger Vibert; District 5, Ranger Nel- 

 son; District 8, Ranger Johnson; District 9, Ranger Depuy; 

 and District 14, Ranger Winslow. 



Mr. Gary is a very well-informed lumberman and has had 

 very extensive experience in the disposal of slash in the New 

 England states where this practice has been in force for some
