246 EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN IN FORESTRY 



This article has been of a purpose confined to a 

 consideration of that part of forestry work performed 

 by the labourer, or woodman, as he is generally classed, 

 although, of course, there are degrees or grades of 

 woodmen according to experience, from the young 

 assistant and apprentice upwards. In a succeeding 

 article it may prove of interest to glance at the openings 

 in the higher grades of forestry — in executive and ad- 

 ministrative work, and so on — which it appears possible 

 might be open to, and filled by, women.
