Both of these courses are work- ing out most admirably, so much so, that it was found necessary to extend the Ranger Course over two years of twelve weeks each. Another field which the Washington College of Forestry had in mind from the first,—that of logging engineering —is now opening up. While compara- tively few lumbermen are ready to take on men strictly as foresters, they are ready to employ men who combine with their forestry training a sufiicient knowledge of civil and mechanical en- gineering to enable them to lay out logging roads and after a term of ap- prenticeship to take charge of logging operations. The schnol is now i)rcp;ire(l to oiTer a lumberman's group designed especially to meet the needs of young men preparing to take charge of log- ging and milling operations, or wishing to enter upon a business career in some phase of the lumber industry. Still another field for which the school will need to provide in order to meet the local demands, that of en- gineer in forest products, is just be- ginning to assert itself. W'ood preser- Aation and the manufacture of by- products are rapidly becoming neces- sary adjuncts to the saw mill. Much of the ])resent enormous waste will lend itself to rcmrmufacture or to the manufacture «>f l)y-pro(lucts. The in- creasing cost of raw material is making this necessary. It is now possible to utilize at a substantial profit much of the waste which it was formerly neces- .sary to get rid of at considerable ex- l) Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readabi
