SCHOOL OF FORESTRY. 163 
together with the servants of the Institute, have free 
lodgings and a right to graze—the first three two cows 
each, and the last one cow each. Besides this, the Director, 
Teacher, and Forest-Master shall have the use of a tunn- 
land in the neighbourhood of the Institute, and the 
servants a mark for potato ground. If any of these 
persons wish further to rent property appropriated to the 
Institute, they will obtain the same by applying to the 
Imperial Senate, and paying money in to the chest of the 
Institution.’ 
In reply to inquiries which I addressed to Dr 
Blomqvist, the Director of the Institution, some years ago, 
he wrote to me as follows :— 
‘Our Institution at Evois is by much too limited and 
inconsiderable to be taken as a pattern for any other 
place. It was reorganised, in 1874, so as to cost as little 
as possible. The number of teachers was then reduced. 
But this I look upon as a mere temporary arrangement,

one for natural history and chemistry, and one for mathe- 
matics;a Forest-Master or Forester, who also was a teacher, 
and a Drawing-Master, who was also secretary and librarian 
—in all six teachers. 
‘The subjects on which instruction was given at that 
time were then, as now— 
‘I. Forest sciences: Wald-bau [sylviculture], Forst-taxa- 
tion [forest management and regulation of the quantity 
of forest produce to be obtained], Forst-technicologie [tech- 
nical properties of different kinds of wood, practical felling 
of trees, treatment of the timber mechanically and chemi- 
cally, transport of the same by land and water, &., &],
