FORESTS-STATISTICS 3 57 alienated, fire protection is maintained by associations of, licensees and timber owners, the Government defraying part of the expense: A “close season’’ for burning brush and debris is enforced. As previously stated, the export of unmanufactured timber is prohibited from material cut on Crown lands. The regeneration of the forest is encouraged by judicious cutting regulations. Forest Service.—A Forest Service, established in 1893, is the agency through which: the Department of Lands and Forests carries out its forest policies. This service has charge of the administration of timber lands and all matters relating to forestry. It is headed by a chief and assistant chief, and consists of some 32 forest-engineers, 255 forest rangers and cuilers, making a total staff of 287. A hundred others are occasionally employed. It has charge of the exploration of the unsurveyed territory in the province, the classification of soils, the supervision of lumbering operations on Crown lands, reforestation, and all other technical work of the department in connection with forests. School of Forestry.—The School of Forestry in the city of Quebec is closely connected with the Forest Service. It was founded in 1910 by the Provincial Government, and has for its purpose the training of men for the Forest Service and for private practice. It has been combined with the School of Surveying and is now known as l'Ecole d’Arpentage et de Génie Forestier. The course is for three or four years duration and leads to diplomas in both sciences. The school is affiliated with Laval University at Quebec and the instruction is given chiefly in the French language, although applicants for admission must be able to read and write English correctly. All students at this school, but more especially those studying forestry, are employed by the Quebec Government during ‘heir summer vacations, and on graduation are either employed perma- aentlv bv the Ouebec Government or assisted in obtaining emplovment. School of Paper-Makers.—Realizing the need of teaching the art of paper-making to assure expert workman and an adequate supply of trained paper engineers, the Quebec Legislature established a school of paper-making in 1923, at Three Rivers, in the centre of the paper-making industry in Canada. A four-year apprentice course is given students, who work in the mills during the afternoons and pursue their studies in the mornings. Night classes are also provided for those who cannot take the day courses, and technical courses are offered to those who wish to so more into detail in the art of paper-making. It is further planned to give post-graduate courses to those desiring to specialize in particular branches of the industry. 38105—51
