FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



SCHOOL OF FORESTRY, UNIVER- 

 SITY OF IDAHO 



fTHE School of Forestry of the Univer- 

 sity of Idaho, at Moscow, offers a 

 correspondence course in Lumber and Its 

 Uses. That the course is meeting a real 

 need is attested by the large number of 

 students that have registered for it since 

 it was first announced about three years 

 ago. Some thirty different States are rep- 

 resented in the enrollment. 



The course is designed to be of special 

 value to lumber dealers, lumber salesmen, 

 contractors or builders, carpenters, manual 

 training teachers, and others connected with 

 the wood working industries. The fee is 

 a nominal one and includes the textbook 

 and all reference material. 



The course consists of twelve assign- 

 ments covering such topics as the structure 

 and physical properties of wood, lumber 

 grading, structural timbers, seasoning and 

 (preservation of wood, lumber production 

 and the selection and use of materials. 



A prospectus will be sent on application 

 to the School of Forestry, University of 

 Idaho, Moscow, Idaho. 



'T'HE Forestry Club of the University of 

 Idaho recently had the unusual oppor- 

 tunity of hearing Mr. Norman F. Cole- 

 man, President of the Loyal Legion of 

 Loggers and Lumbermen, outline the pres- 

 ent situation in the lumber industry of the 

 northwest, point out its relation to the in- 

 dustrial problem and explain how the 

 Four L's were handling the different con- 

 ditions of the present. Mr. Coleman has 

 been making a tour of the lumber mills 

 of the Inland Empire. 



A class of log scaling was recently open- 

 ed by the Idaho State Board for Voca- 

 tional Education at the plant of the Edward 

 Rutledge Timber Company at . Coeur 

 d'Alene, Idaho. Mr. C. E. Knouf, log 

 scaling expert with the United States For- 

 est Service m the Inland Empire, for 

 eleven years, has been secured as instruc- 

 tor and is well qualified by his long ex- 

 perience to handle this work efficiently. No 

 charge is made for the course and at- 

 tendance of both experienced and inex- 

 perienced men will be welcome. The 

 course will run for six hours a day and 

 will cover approximately three weeks' time. 

 It will include instruction in all phases of 

 log scaling, together with study of the 

 causes underlying various types of defects 

 for which allowance has to be made in 

 woods practice. 



the class will be located at Urania, Louisi- 

 ana, west of <the Mississippi, on the forest 

 estate of Henry Hardtner, whose experi- 

 ments in forest restoration have attracted 

 wide attention in the South for their suc- 

 cess. Nine seniors will take the course. An 

 unusual feature this year is the .presence 

 of four Chinese students in the graduating 

 class ; namely, Mark Yuen-chi Hwang, 

 Shun-Ching Lee, Peng Fei Shen, and Chuan 

 Fah Yao, who was recently elected to the 

 Yale Chapter of Sigma Xi. These men 

 will return to China after the completion 

 of the three months' course, to take up 

 various lines of forestry work in their 

 home provinces. Placido O. Dacanay, who 

 came to Yale from the Philippines to com- 

 plete his training after a term at the Uni- 

 versity of Montana, will enter the Gov- 

 ernment Service of the Islands. 



The men live in tents fitted with board 

 floors and walls, and receive final in- 

 structions in the art of topographic mapping, 

 the "estimating" or measurement of stand- 

 ing timber, the methods of studying growth 

 of trees, and of managing forest lands to 

 produce timber crops, methods of logging, 

 the construction of logging railroads, and 

 sawmill practice. Mr. Hardtner, at Urania, 

 is planning to manage his lands in such a 

 way that there will always be timber to 

 cut and the town will always remain pros- 

 perous instead of disappearing as many 

 sawmill towns do after cutting is finished. 

 In this project the Yale class will assist. 

 by outlining the rate of growth and meth- 

 ods of cutting which will be needed to se- 

 cure the desired result. The State of 

 Louisiana in 1919, as the direct result of the 

 work and advice of the Yale School, passed 

 the first law ever adopted in the United 

 States. ' which requires forest owners on 

 cutting their timber to leave seed trees 

 standing on every acre for the purpose of 

 securing reforestation. 



FOUR CHINESE FORESTERS AT 

 YALE 



'T'HE senior class of the Yale School of 

 Forestry is now in spring field train- 

 ing in the South which has been the feature 

 of the senior year since 1907. This year 



UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 

 COLLEGE OF FORESTRY 

 AND LUMBERING 

 'T'HE College of Forestry and Lumbering 

 opened with an enrollment of 150 stu- 

 dents, representing eight countries of the 

 world and practically every State of the 

 Union. Among the recent additions to the 

 student body of the school is Mr. A. M. 

 Koroloff, representing the Bureau of For- 

 estry and several forestry associations of 

 Russian Siberia. Mr. Koroloff is a graduate 

 of the Petrograd Imperial Forest Institute. 

 Thorsten Streyffert, a graduate of the Col- 

 lege of Forestry and College of Commerce 

 of Stockholm. Sweden, has lately entered 

 the College of Forestry here to study 

 American methods of forest practice and 

 management. 



The Forestry Department of the Prov- 

 ince of Queensland. Australia, has sent 

 Mr. C. R. Paterson. a graduate of the 

 University of Queensland, to the Uni- 

 versity of Washington for the purpose of 

 investigating and learning new logging
