The Canadian forest has always produced^ good men 

 and will continue to supply the material for the best of 

 rangers, if efficiency is made the basis of appointment and 

 ability is rewarded by promotion. 



Provision is made for the inspection of reserves by com- 

 bining them into four inspectoral districts with an in- 

 spector for each. The inspector, in consultation with the 

 officials of his district, makes an estimate of the kind and 

 amount of work necessary and the amount of money 

 needed, and submits this to the Director of Forestry. He 

 also inspects the books and records, and in a general way 

 supervises the organization of the work of the reserve.
