As with teaching, so with forestry ; by no means all the compensation comes in the form of dollars. While the life of the forester in the field is often rough, many times exceedingly hard, and always with- out most of the comforts of life, it is to those of us who have been following it the most delightful of occupations. Briefly stated, it deals, on the scientific side, with the life-history of forests and forest trees, with their behavior in health and disease, their reaction under treatment,... and their adaptation to and effect upon their surroundings. On the economic side, it has chiefly to do with reconciling the perpetuation of the forest with the production of timber. Measurements of the stand of timber per acre, and of the rate of growth of single trees and whole for- ests by counting rings, and subsequent calculations, often form a considerable part of a forester's work. There is often a great deal of office work. It is by no means the easy existence it has often been supposed to be by the many men who have taken up forestry, and then have dropped it.
