Realizing this, the Forestry Branch last sea- son instituted a course of instruc- tion, in an experimental way, and it is expected that good results will be obtained. The Dominion Forest Reserves now include more than 30,000,000 acres of land in the four western provinces, and are under the charge of a per- manent force of supervisors and rangers. Only a small number of these men have had any technical training. Ranger meetings were held in Alberta and Saskatche- wan. At each meeting a week was devoted to instruction in the ,,. , , . construction and use of forest tele- Installing lookout phone. , " „».*:,.„1„ attention phone lines, particulai attention being given to the special types of construction developed for use on the low-priced lines built for fire protection purposes. The meetings were held on or near forest reserves, where per- manent telephone construction projects were to be undertaken ine equipment consisted of a complete set of tools and materials em- ployed in telephone construction work. Various standard instru- ments were shown, installed so as to provide the different forms ot circuits and connections met with on forest lines, and were used dur- ing the meetings in conjunction with an actual piece of tree line to illustrate their workings. Construction methods were explained and demonstrations were given under actual field conditions, involving the building of a short piece, generallv one or two miles of tree line, so arranged
