CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 23 Lumber Affairs of Eastern Canada Quebec's New Forestry School—Arrangement of Alex- ander Gibson Company's Matters Nearing Completion Mr. G. C. Piche, the director of the new forestry school established by the Quebec Government, in a recent interview gave some interesting particulars regarding the work of the school, the sessions of which begin during the coming autumn. This school will be affiliated with Laval University, and will have four professors, two in forestry, one in mathe- matics and one in forest law. Lectures will be given in the lecture rooms of the university. The regular course covers two years, previous to which the students in this course must have had a year's practical ex- perience in the woods. The course will embrace forestry in all branches, sylviculture, forest management, forest utilization, etc., mathematics, natural and applied science, forest law, construction of buildings, dams, roads, etc. Students are to be admitted to the regular course by exami- nation, held in August of each year. During their year of preliminary work in the forest they are to receive a salary and expenses from the government. Candidates must be twenty years old, enjoy goood health, be of good moral character and speak and write correctly both French and English. Students will also be admitted to special courses, without having to pass the examination for admission, but these will not receive the diploma and degree (Forestry Engineer) as the others do. The nucleus of the school has existed for some two years past, a number of young men having been in the employ of the government as "stu- dents" and occupied in the supervision of cutting and enforcement of government regulations, work in the nursery at Berthierville, etc. Alexander Gibson Company Arrangement The affairs of the Alexander Gibson Ra
