OPENING FOR FORESTERS 



The question will naturally be asked : "What are my chances 

 for work, if I take the course in forestry?" The answer to this 

 is not as easy as with regard to some other courses, bec.iuse 

 forestry, the right use and care of forests, in our country is in 

 its infancy. 



Broadly speaking, we may say that the woodlands of the 

 United States, the field of action of our foresters, cover several 

 hundred million acres, that the greater part is culled, cut and 

 burned over ; that even today about eighty million people, with a 

 most extraordinary and .constantly increasing demand for wood, 

 depend upon a judicious use of what there is left of the o'd 

 forests; and that the most diligent care of the woods is neces- 

 sary to guard against a serious disturbance in our economic re- 

 lations, which probably can not be avoided entirely. 



It will require the trained heads and hands of several 

 thousand good men to start the work of improving our woods, 

 and it will require the continuous effort for all time of many 

 thousand more to continue the work successfully. 



Fortunately it may be said that a general awakening to the
