Thifty-nine young graduates of nine

training in the science OF forestry. or
they may be assigned to the study of
some particular problem which needs

good forest management. AS forestry
means knowing how to get the most
out of any given piece of forest land,

both scientific and practical, much like
those which have to be made in the
interest of good farm management,
