. American forestry. Forests and forestry. FOREST SCHOOLS OF THE UNITED STATES 481 subjects of dcDdrology, silviculture, geology, mineralogy, surveying, mathe- matics, mensuration, timber-sales, lumbering, planting, and grazing as required work, with elective courses in chemistry, physics and botany. In recognition of the need of more extended instruction in several of the branches, and of the introduction of others, the ranger course has been expanded to cover six months (two winters). This plan will be put into effect next winter. There will still be the same opportunity for those who can give but one season to the work, but those who wish to return for a second winter will find additional courses to meet their demands. The subject of lumbering will be divided into descriptive lumbering, forest products other than lumber, and lumbering engineering; additional work will be given in surveying, map- ping and drafting; botany will be taught from the systematic and ecological standpoint, preparing men especially for work in connection with grazing and grazing reconnaissance. Courses will be given in forest pathology, in forest management, and in public land laws. In addition to the four years' course and the ranger school, the university seeks to extend its usefulness to men who are unable to register as resident students. To a limited extent correspondence courses are offered in dendrology, silviculture, mineralogy, surveying and mathematics. This work is designed chiefly for rangers in the Forest Service, who have not time or means to attend the university. A summer forestry cruise from the university has been announced. This is designed as a tour of the Pacific Coast primarily for the study of the relation between silviculture and practical lumbering. To this work about six weeks' time is given, devoted largely to observation of large logging and milling operations in the regions Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that m
