THE TRAINING OF A FORESTER 



is at present 110, and this number will doubt- 

 less be still further increased by the addition 

 of new forest schools or the expansion of old 

 ones, while a certain number of places will be 

 made vacant by the retirement of men who 

 find themselves better fitted for other lines 

 of work. 



The teaching staiF at three of the princi- 

 pal forest schools of the country was as 

 follows: 



At School A, 5 men give their whole time 

 to forest instruction, and 14 give courses in 

 the forest school. 



Schools B and C have each 4 men who 

 give their whole time to the work; and 4 and 

 20 respectively who give lectures or indi- 

 vidual courses. 



In addition to the work for lumbermen, 

 associations, railroads, and others just men- 

 tioned, an increasing number of Foresters 

 are required to care for the forests on large
