It adds: “To judge a man’s efficiency, it is necessary that. the officer in 
charge shall have an intimate knowledge of his character, mentality, and 
ambitions. This can be obtained only by actual contact, and advantage 
should be taken of every opportunity to get into personal touch with a man 
and to watch his work in the field. . : . . Officers should not hesitate to extend 
praise for good work, in fact, it can almost always be given without danger. 
At the same time, errors or lack of industry should be pointed out as soon as 
discovered.” 
Again: “The members of the regular force on the forests are not 
specialists, but must be proficient in all lines of work. Experience is required 
to develop this proficiency, hence supervisors should give their officers oppor- 
tunity to obtain wide training and experience, and should make assignments 
with this end in view.”
