SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. 
After the student has produced a proper diary of his experiences in 
an approved European forest, he could then be eligible for graduation 
in an Australian University in forestry. 
If some such scheme were adopted, we could, in Australia, be sure of 
obtaining good trained men who could specialize and attack the practical 
large-scale work and the many problems of the forest in the best possible 
manner. It is on such lines that we are working in South Australia, 
though on a small scale. The number of our students is commensurate 
with the scope before us. We require a few good students, not a lot of 
mediocre ones, in our University School of Forestry.. 
At present the number of those capable of undertaking research into 
our numerous forest problems are very few, and the field is enormous. 
The student who successfully graduates cannot be expected to be 
widely experienced, but has the guarantee of a proper foundation in the 
general principles of silviculture, forest management, and a good know- 
ledge of the general practice of forestry. 
“Science has no need to blush for herself, and to-day she has 
begun to make her voice heard in the streets, with a force which 
penetrates even the dullest of ears, with a persistence redoubled by the 
imminent peril of the nation, and with an eloquence which neither 
prejudice nor indifference is able any longer to gainsay or resist.”
