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 usually employed. The Forestry Bureau in 

 the Philippines offers what is in some ways an unrivaled opportunity 

 to trained men. It is nevertheless evident that the demand for for- 

 esters is to-day being met more nearly than ever before. Manifestly 

 the conditions prevailing in all the other professions must soon exist 

 in forestry — that is, rewards will come only to the men best fitted by 

 education, character, and ability. 



As regards compensation, forestry offers the well-equipped man a 

 fair living. It is naturally impossible to foretell what eventually 

 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 Forest Service now receive from $1,100, the en- 

 trance salary of a forest assistant, to $5,000 a year, the salary of the 

 Forester.

RANGER SCHOOLS. 



A number of undergraduate schools of fores-try have a short winter or sum- 

 mer course especially intended for the training of forest rangers. Several 

 undergraduate schools, while not intended primarily for training rangers, give 

 courses not much aboTe the requirements of a ranger.
