A course giving the development of the forestry idea in foreign countries and in the United States, particularly Pennsylvania.

A detailed discussion of the grazing and the fire problems, particularly adapted to the conditions prevailing in the Pennsylvania forests. A complete fire protective system is planned and worked out for a specified forest area. Effective methods of preventing and controlling forest fires and the use of practical firefighting tools are emphasized. Forest fire laws and protective measures of other states and coun- tries are considered. Public education is discussed. The field work consists in part of trips to various parts of the Mont Alto and neighboring State Forests for the study of the existing protective systems and the effect of grazing, frost, heat, erosion, and other destruc- tive agents. The entire student body participates act- ively in the extinguishing of all fires which occur upon the Mont Alto State Forest and adjoining forest proper- ties This affords the best possible training in the most INTENTIONAL SECOND EXPOSURE.
