FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



IDAHO FOREST SCHOOL 



'THE Associated Foresters of the Univer- 

 sity of Idaho Forest School held their 

 fourth annual banquet March 10, at Mos- 

 cow, Idaho. Forty members and their 

 guests were present, among the latter be- 

 ing President E. H. Lindley, of the Univer- 

 sity of Idaho; A. D. Decker and Donald 

 Yates, of the Potlatch Lumber Company, 

 of Potlatch, Idaho, and Major F. A. Fenn, 

 chief of the office of lands in District 1 of 

 the United States Forest Service at Mis- 

 soula, Montana. Prof. C. Edward Behre 

 acted as toastmaster. Mr. Decker spoke 

 on "The Practice of Forestry by Private 

 Owners," and expressed the opinion that 

 progress along this line could not be suc- 

 cessfully secured by mandatory legislation, 

 but that the solution of the national for- 

 estry problem lay along co-operative lines. 

 President Lindley, of the University of 

 Idaho, talked upon "The Spirit of the For- 

 ester." Mr. A. S. Daniels, president of the' 

 Associated Foresters of the University of 

 Idaho, outlined the history, activities and 

 aims of the forest club. Mr. Yates, in dis- 

 cussing the logged-off land problem, out- 

 lined an idea for removing and utilizing 

 the waste material on logged-off land for 

 agricultural development by a stock com- 

 pany undertaking the production of fuel- 

 wood, resinous by-products and pulp for 

 the utilization of the material now de- 

 stroyed. He believes that, although no one 

 of these industries can be profitably con- 

 ducted on the supply of raw material from 

 cut-over land at present, that an enter- 

 prise which undertook all at the some time 

 would succeed. Mr. H. W. Staples, of the 

 senior class of the Idaho Forest School, 

 talked on airplane fire patrol, basing his 

 remarks on experience gained as lieutenant 

 in the United States Air Service during the 

 war. Mr. H. W. May, a United States For- 

 est ranger, pointed out the advantage to the 

 field man in coming to the University of 

 Idaho for the short course. Major F. A. 

 Fenn, spoke upon his work with the Forest 

 Service in developing the recreational uses 

 of the National Forests. Major Fenn has 

 the distinction of being one of the first six 

 pupils to attend a public school in Idaho 

 territory and has been in the United States 

 Forest Service for over 20 years. Some of 

 the interesting incidents of the early days 

 of the Forest Service related by Major Fenn 

 were a revelation to those who knew the 

 Forest Service only from its present stage 

 efopment and prestige. 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



'T'HE Fourth Annual Convention of the 

 Intercollegiate Association of Forestry 

 Clubs was held recently in New Haven, 

 under the auspices of Yale, the present 

 President Club. The meeting was in every 

 way a distinct success, and owing to the 

 number of Yale alumni present the occa- 

 sion partook of the nature of a reunion. 

 The meeting adopted insignia for the Asso- 

 ciation, provided for a quarterly publica- 

 tion to be issued by the president club, and 

 elected the University of California as 

 president for the coming year. The next 

 convention will accordingly be held in 

 Berkeley. 



The speakers and the subjects of their 

 talks were : "The Profession of Forestry," 

 Prof. H. H. Chapman, New Haven, Con- 

 necticut; "How Can the Forester Help the 

 Lumberman?" T. L. Bristol, Ansonia, Con- 

 necticut; "The Work of the Consulting 

 Forester," J. T. Rothery, New York city; 

 "The Undergraduate Student of Forestry," 

 J. H. Briscoe, Orono, Maine; "The Stu- 

 dent of Forestry, and State Service," E. C. 

 Hirst, Concord, New Hampshire ; "The Stu- 

 dent of Forestry and Research," S. T. 

 Dana, Washington, D. C. 



The speakers at the banquet were : Dean 

 Tourney, Colonel Woolsey ('03), Major 

 Marston ('02), E. C. Hirst ('09) and Mr. 

 Rogers, of the Indian Forest Service. 



The Senior Class, fifteen in number, has 

 gone to Urania, Louisiana, for the spring 

 field work. The spring work is in charge 

 of Professors Bryant and Chapman, and 

 will be conducted on a large Southern pine 

 operation on the property of Mr. Henry 

 Hardtner. The location selected for the 

 work this year is familiar ground, as the 

 work with the class of 1918 was conducted 

 on the same property. 



Dr. H. N. Whitford sailed early in April 

 for six to eight weeks' field work in ex- 

 amining a tract of timbered land in Dutch 

 Guiana. He is planning to secure a full 

 collection of woods and herbarium material 

 from the region visited. Recent additions 

 to the tropical woods collections at the 

 Yale School of Forestry have brought the 

 total of such woods to nearly 4,000 speci- 

 mens. Representatives of the principal 

 woods of nearly all the South American 

 countries and many other parts of the 

 tropical world are now in this collection. 

 Professor Record, who is classifying these 

 words, is constantly receiving numerous 

 samples from many sources for identifica- 

 tion. 



Mr. N. M. Matthews, Conservator of 

 Forests for North Borneo, has been a vis- 

 itor at New Haven for the past several 

 days and gave an interesting address be- 

 fore the Forest Club on the evening of 

 March 16. Mr. Matthews is enthusiastic
