NEW BRUNSWICK NOTES. 



Robert K. Shives, of the class of 

 1913, after taking- instruction in the 

 Curtiss school of aviation at To- 

 ronto, qualifying as a second lieu- 

 tenant in the flying corps, left for 

 England where he hopes soon to 

 receive the rank of lieutenant in the 

 Royal Flying Corps. It is believed 

 that his nerve and resourcefulness 

 will win him rapid promotion. 





Robert K. Melrose is now in the 

 employ of the New Brunswick 

 Land Company, doing forestry 

 work. Chris. Armstrong has been in 

 charge during the absence of Mr. 

 Reginald R. Bradley on a short va- 

 cation. 



Mr. Hal B. Murray, of the class 

 of 1913, is now District Forester at 

 Cranbrook, B.C.. where about a year 

 ago he was assistant. The force at 

 Cranbrook consists of District For- 

 ester, under whom are three rangers. 



C. E. Maimann. Leland Webb, 

 Reginald Jago and Guy Horncastle, 

 who were in the employ of the Do- 

 minion Forestry Branch, have re- 

 turned to the University, the three 

 former taking up the work of the 

 senior year and the latter of the 

 junior year. There is good promise 

 of the largest senior class ever grad- 

 uated from the institution. 



Col. T. G. Loggie, Deputy Minis- 

 ter of Lands and Mines, left on Oct. 

 12th for a trip of two months to 

 Western Canada and before return- 

 ing will visit the Panama-Pacific 

 Exposition. He was accompanied 

 by Mrs. Loggie. During his absence 

 from the Crown Land office his 

 work will be taken by Mr. McMul- 

 len, a former employe of the office. 



Prof. R. B. Miller, of the Univer- 

 sity of New Brunswick Forestry 

 Department, delivered an address 

 before the combined teachers Insti- 

 tute of Kings and Queens counties 

 at Hampton, N.B., on the evening of 

 October 21st. His subject was: 

 "Forestry in the Public Schools."
