The legislative propositions brought forward in 1910 also provide for transfer of this school to Florence, leaving only the experiment station in Vallambrosa, and also for raising the standard of instruction. At the same time, however, there was at the old institution ordered a “rush course” to be finished in 15 months, since it appeared that not enough foresters were in existence to carry out the proposed re-organization. In 1905, a school of silviculture for forest guards was instituted in Cittaducale, the course being 9 months. Besides the technical school at Vallambrosa, agricultural schools have chairs of forestry or arboriculture, as for instance the Royal school at Portici. As an educational feature, the introduction of Arbor Day, in 1902, _la festa dei alberi_, should also be mentioned. The existence of a forest school naturally produces a literature. While a considerable number of popular booklets attempt the education of the people, who are the owners of the forest, there is no absence of professional works. Among these should be mentioned Di Berenger’s _Selvicoltura_, a very complete work, which also contains a brief history of forestry in the Orient, Greece and Italy. G. Carlos Siemoni’s _Manuele d’arte forestale_ (1864), and the earlier _Scienza selvana_ by Tondi (1829) are encyclopedias of inferior quality. In 1859, R. Maffei, a private forester, began to publish the _Revista forestale del regno d’ Italia_, an annual review, for the purpose of popularizing forestry in Italy, afterwards changed into a monthly, which continued for some time under subventions from the government. A number of propagandist forestry associations were formed at various times, publishing leaflets or journals, one of these _L’Alpe_, a monthly, in 1902. In 1910, the two leading societies combined into a federation _Pro montibus ed enti affini_, merging also the _Rivista forestale italiana_ with _L’Alpe_, which serves both propagandist and professional needs. SPAIN. _Revista de Montes_, a semi-official journal, established in 1877, is the best source. _El Manuel de Legislacion y Administracion Forestal_, by HILARIO RUIZ, and _Novisima Legislacion Forestal_, by DEL CAMPO, 1901, elaborate the complicated legislation up to 1894. _Dicionaro Hispano-Americano_, 1893, contains an article (_montes_) on the administrative practice of the forest laws. _A Year in Spain_, by a young American (SLIDELL) 1829, gives an excellent account of physical conditions of the country and character of the people at that time. _Das Moderne Geistesleben in Spanien_, 1883, and _Kulturgeschichtliche und Wirtschaftspolitische Betrachtungen_, 1901, by GUSTAV DIERKS, details character of institutions and people.
