Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education in Forestry: Proceedings of the Second National Conference, New Haven, Conn;, December 17-18, 1920 The Second National Conference on Education in Forestry was held under the auspices of the School of Forestry of Yale University, at New Haven, Conn., on December 17 and 18, 1920. Its purpose was to discuss the question, To what extent and in what ways is it desirable to revise the standardized curriculum of instruction in forestry that for the past 10 years has been more or less closely followed by the leading forest schools of the United States? That curriculum was the outcome of the First National Conference on Education in Forestry, held in December, 1909, when was appointed a committee on standardization of instruction in forestry that published its final report in the Forestry Quarterly for September, 1912 (Vol. X, No. 3). The reasons that led to the conference of 1909 are set forth succinctly by Dean Toumey in his opening address (see p. 4). The second conference on professional forestry education was called by Dean Toumey, of the Yale School of Forestry, after consultation with other foresters engaged in educational work. Those In attendance represented, personally or by proxy, all the forest schools in the country that offer courses leading to a forestry degree, or that otherwise train men for the practice of forestry as a profession. There were also present a considerable number of other persons interested in the topics under discussion. At the time of calling the conference, during the summer of 1920, Dean Toumey named a series of committees, and requested them to be ready to report at the conference in December. In the appendix is given a list of these committees and also of those appointed by the conference, with their personnel. The committee reports, followed by discussions, made up the subject matter of the conference. Through the courtesy of the United States Commissioner of Education the proceedings of the conference are made of permanent record in this bulletin, the conference having very gladly accepted the commissioner´s offer to incorporate this material in a publication of the Bureau of Education. Address Of Welcome. By Dr. Arthur Twining Hadley, President of Yale University. It is a great pleasure to welcome you at the opening of this conference on education in forestry.
