THE TRAINING OF A FORESTER 



engineering school who, after graduation, 

 has entered a machine shop as a hand, has 

 acquired a body of practical information and 

 experience which will be invaluable to him 

 in the later practice of his profession, and 

 which is far beyond the reach of any man 

 who has not been trained in the actual execu- 

 tion of this work on the ground and in actual 

 daily contact with the multifarious uses and 

 users of the forest. 



THE FOREST SUPERVISOR 



The Supervisor is the general manager 

 of a National Forest. The responsibility for 

 the protection, care, and use of it falls upon 

 him, under the direction of the District 

 Forester. The Supervisor is responsible for 

 making the use of his forest as valuable and 

 as convenient as possible for the people in 

 and around the area of which he has charge.
