Forestry Education. 



[AfRiL, 1904.] 



years past maintained a Lecturer on Forestry (Lieut.-Colonel 

 F. Bailey, R.E.). Education in forestry, as in other agricultural 

 subjects, in Scotland falls within the purview of the Scotch 

 Education Department; but the Board understand that the Edin- 

 burgh and East of Scotland Agricultural College have appointed 

 iMr. Fraser Story as Lecturer on Forestry ; and that local classes 

 have already been, or are being, arranged by the County 

 Councils of Berwickshire, Fifeshire, and Perthshire. At the 

 West of Scotland Agricultural College, also, a class in forestry 

 has been established during the past session, under the direction 

 of an experienced Forester. It is expected that in connection 

 with this College, also, subsidiary courses of instruction in 

 forestry will be organised in several of the counties which 

 combine to support the College.
