GRADUATE. 14. Forest Technology. Laboratory, lectures, and text-book, Boul-gers Woods. The student is required to make a study of the histologicaland mechanical properties of the woods of our economic forest-trees. Athorough study is made of the cellular structure, the weight, hardnessand mechanical properties, such as stiffness, toughness, brittleness, elas-ticity and durability of these woods. The fitness of any particular kindof wood for special purposes is determined. 15. Forest Management. Laboratory.
