THE OPENING FOR FORESTERS. 



The best management of the National forest reserves will require the 

 services of many trained men. The Bureau of Forestry, will require 

 an increasing number of suitably prepared foresters to suppty its needs. 

 The lack of foresters to care for the forest interests of several States is 

 already making itself strongly felt. An increasing number of foresters 

 will be required by private forest owners, as the great holders of timber 

 lands come to realize more generally that conservative lumbering pays 

 better than the methods now employed. The Forestry Bureau in the 

 Philippines offers what is in some ways an unrivaled opportunity to 

 trained men. 



As regards compensation, forestry offers the well-prepared man a fair 

 living. It is naturally impossible to foretell what will be the pay of 

 foresters in this country. It is reasonably certain, however, that their 

 salaries will never be large. Trained foresters in the employ of the 

 Bureau of Forestry now receive from $720 to $3,500 a year.
