EXAMINATIONS
FOR FOREST SERVICE
Positions Pay All Way From One
Thousand to Sixteen Hun
bred Dollars.

Washington, Oct, 24.-Examina-
tions opened this morning in fourteen
far Western States, and in Florida,
Michigan, Minnesota. and Alaska, to
fill vacant positions as assistant For
est rangers on the National Forests.
The examinations are held at Nation
al Forest headquarters in all States
in which National Forests are lpca-
ted, except in Arkansas and Oklahoma
and win last two days.
The positions pay, at entrance, a
salary of s1,100 per annum. Men who
enter the National Forest work as as
sistant ranges are eligible for pro-
motion to positions as rangers, and
latr to tn position of Froest supervi-
sor, If they are good enough. The
later position pays a salary of from
81 600 up, and calls both for all
round executive ability and for a
certain amount of practical knowledge
of forestry. Rangers work under the
Forest supervisors, often with a par
tioular district in their charge, pro-
tecting the Forests against fire and
trespass, handling much of the minor
business with Forest users, estimat-
ing and scaling TIMBER and enforc-
ing regulations under which purchas-
ers OF timber are allowed to cut on
the National Forests, building trails,
supervising the work of Forest guards
and on occasion leading forces of
temporary employees against forest
fires too large to be handled by the
regular National Forest forces.
The For st ranger must therefore
first of all be an experienced and
vigorous woodsman. In the words of
the little pamphlet which the De-
,patment of Agriculture sends to per-
sons making inquiry, "lnvalids seek
ing Hight outdoor employment need
not apply. He must be sound-bodi-
ed, Injured to hardships. able to ride,
pack, and take care of himself and
his horses in the woods and noun
tains, familiar with the region and
local conditions where he seeks en-
ployment, and a resident of the
State in which he will be appointed.
Although the requirements are largely
physical and practical, they include
both a sufficient general education to
qualify the ranger to transact Ma
tional Forest business intelligently,
and knowledge of land surveying,
mining laws and customs, and the
handling of range livestock. In the
Southwest some knowledge of Span
ish Is oftsn necessary.
To secure the right kind of man
the examination is largely a test of
practical capacity to do things. The
candidate must give demonstration
of his horsemanship. ability to pack,
knowledge of the use of the compass
and similar matters. Other parts Of
the test are written examinations. Be-
cause of the desirability OF secur-
ing. in the new rangers.recrui who
will prove capable of rising to the
highest responsibilities lad upon For
est supervisors. the tests of educa-
tional qualifications have been
strengthened. Thus the Government
is obtairdng picked men for the rank
and file of its little army of
employees who administer and pro-
mote the proper use of Its nearly two
administer and promote the proper
use OF its nearly two hundred million
acres of National Forests.

courses in applied art, which take up
in detail the design and execution OF
useful and artistic models IN sllcn
media as leather, clay, metal and tex
tiles. This is comprehensive course,
and is strictly up to date.
The bows of the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth grades are now taught bench
work in wood, and such mechanical
drafting as is closely correlated with It
Wood is used as a medium of expression
in these grades, on account OF the fact
that it is better suited to boys IN these
grades than any other medium OF ex-
preston. This has been proved by care
full trials and long experience.
Furniture Designing.
In the high school the bows are OF
fered courses in furniture design and
construction, which includes study OF
the methods of construction, OF mater
ials used, and of the best wood finishes.
1t Is hoped next year to Cffer certain
of the high school boys courses IN wood
carving, the designs for which Will De
worked out by the boys in the classes IN
applied art. At present the high school
bows electing manual training are taking
courses in mechanical drafting. This we
hope to continue, and we hope to develop
the shop work and mechanical drafting
for the high school boys along such
lines as the work is now given IN the
high schools OF other progressive cities.
The courses above mentioned have
been very considerably modified to meet
the needs of the Alamo, Aoy, BeaH and
Franklin, as in these schools we find
a large proportion of the children large
for their grades. In these schools we
are emphasizing strongly the practical
and industrial. The domestic art work
IS started at the beginning of the third
grade, and runs through the fourth and
fifth grades.
Domestic Science.
Domestic science is taught in the fifth,
sixth and seventh grades, and laundry
work is taught to all girls large enough
to take the work In this connection
might say that our course in laundry IN
cludes not only the practical work, but
also a study of hard and soft waters, OF
soaps, of various agents used for soften
ing the water and whitening the clothes,
of bluing and starch in their scientific
as well as their practical relation TO
laundry work, and a study of the proper
treatment of linens. cottons, wOolens
and silks, work on the palmer garments
as well as the more artistic articles OF
embroideries and hces.
Almost without exception the boys ana
girls are intensely interested in this
branch OF their school work, and it is
with difficulty that they can be kept
out of the shops and laboratories when
ever they have moment to spare
1t is interesting to note that the peo-
pie of the city of Los Angeles have Just
voted 100000 in bonds for the erection
of a new manual training high school.
Los Angeles already has courses through
out the grades. similar to the courses
taught in FL Paso, and has also a tech
nical high school and Throop Polytech-
ME institute

been found to be the best time to sepa-
rate them in this work. In some schools
the sewing work is started in the fourth
grade, while the boys are given some
exact constructive work 1t has been
the experience of MANY schools, however,
to find that the work is too highly
specialized for boys and girls usually
found in these classes. 4 further fact
in favor of not separating the boys and
girls at this time is that it IS far more
expensive to teach two lines of work 10
fourth grade children. The highly spe
cialized work should always be done in
the higher grades where the classes are
smaller, if for no other reason than
from that of saving expense.
The Girls Work
From now on we viii consider the
work of the bows and girls separately,
taking ND first the work of the girls.
In the fifth, sixth and seventh grades
the girls are taught domestic art. This
not only includes sewing in all its
branches, both by hand and by machine,
but also the study of materials and their
manufacture, of textiles, threads ard
other minor supplies used; of machines
and tools necessary for this work, and
a study of the selection and purchasing
of materials necessary for special pJlr-
poses. Each ginl is required to purchase
her own materials Thus her Judgment
is trained. The principles of design nee
essary TO this work are taught, and
this is one reason which justifies the
name domestic art, rather than sewing.
1t is well known that different designs
of garments and different colors must
be combined with care in order to gain
the best effects.
Domestic Science.
The eighth grade girls are taught do
mestic science. This includes not only
the preparation of all kinds of foods
from the very simplest every day dishes
to the more complex and artistic. 1t
includes study of the values, reactions
and physiological and chemical processes
which apply to cooking. It considers
the cooking for special purposes, such
as invalid cookery and the food neces-
sary for various climates. It considers
cooking in relation to the physical pro-
cesses of digestion and assimilation, and
studies how best to form well balanced
diet. 1t considers such problems as home
planning, sanitation, the purchasing of
materials and of keeping the necessary
accounts
The high school girls are Offered as an
elective comprehensive course in do
tueSlc economy, which includes advance
courses in domestic art and domestic
science, and one of the problems is the
planning of a complete home, and in
Guides the sketching of the exterior, the
drawing of plans for the interior, max
ing lists of all furniture and utensils
needed for the various parts of the
house, the study of necessary plumbing
and heating problems, and the planning
OF the furnishings, of the wood work
and the selection and arrangement of
interior decorations.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. Is, 1910.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Replying TO an article in The Herald
of Feb II, signed I. NJ White, the
Man with a big heart" regarding a
previous article of mine in criticism OF
dogs.
Bigness of heart is a very desirable
quality and the world would be better
off if we only had more men with truly
big hearts, but 1 must confess that I
would feel little more timid about ap-
plying that term to myself. preferring
TO let others 10 that IL I deserve it,
Perhaps, though. when a man is sailing
Under false cOlors he may with some
degree OF prOpriety boast of the size
OF his heart
1t is my opinion that the writer is
troubled with malformation instead Of
bigness of heart if he can apply his
splendid tribute to dogs in general. It
is possible that he in his haste to
eulOgize the dog. overlooked the fact
that my criticism was directed only
against dogs in cities. Far be it from
me TO say that the dog in his place IS
not valuable animal.
What friend and companions the dog
must be to the shepherd in his lonely
watch upon the hills? What greater
example Of fortitude and devotion to
QONS tl4etii ttdt OA the great Sl bernard
as he searches the mountains seeking
those who may have been lost in the
storm and are numb with cold? What
would the Eskimo in the bleak and bar
rem north do without his dogs. which
are almost his only means of transpor-
tatiOn and on which he has at times 20
depend for subsistence?
The writer may with all propriety
apply his tribute to this class OF dogs.
but II he has the power of discern
ment a man with a big heart should
have. he will certainly hesitate to ap-
ply it to the dogs our cities are infested
with.
Yours truly.
