In the Journal of Forestry, vol. i., jJp. 756761, 837842, are 

 given the opinions of foresters in Germany in regard to the respective 

 advantages of having schools of forestry incorporated in Universities 

 or Polytechnical Institutes, and of havirig them maintained as separate 

 exclusively professional schools. In Sweden this subject has not 

 been ignored. 



The National University, deservedly famous both for its past and its 

 present position among the schools of learning in Europe, is situated 

 at Upsala, another is at Lund, and there is' in Stockholm, near 

 the Observatory, at the upper end of D rotting Gatan, or rather of 

 Kungs Backen, which is a continuation of it, a well-equipped 

 Technological School, and in a separate building by the side of it 

 a School of Mines both of late erection ; and some saving of 

 expense and economizing of working power might have been effected 

 probably by the Forest Institute having been connected with these ; but 

 in all the circumstances of the case it was considered preferable that it 

 should be continued on its present site and in its existing condition. 



In Sweden education is universal. u Statistics show that at the 

 present time even of criminals of all ages only three per cent, 

 probably mostly minors- are totally without school training ; and the 

 University of Upsala has done much to secure for all classes of the 

 community a high degree of education. For admission to study 

 at the Forest Institute, at the Technological School, at the School of 

 Mines, or at the University, the requirement is the same. It consists 

 in the production of a certificate of having passed with approval the 

 examination in languages, mathematics, natural history, and physical 

 science required of students leaving the secondary or intermediate 

 schools. 



In the School of Forestry, as in the University and other institu- 

 tions, no fees are charged ; the instruction is free, and bursaries are 

 provided for those who' may require such aid ; the board, lodging, 

 and travelling expenses of the students when they are sent for 

 practice in the forest are provided for ; where steamboats and railways 

 fail them, ponies are provided if practicable and desirable ; their 

 lodgings and food in these excursions are plain, and in some cases the
