9. Forestry Academies. 
The German Empire has an extent of forest ground covering 
14 million Hectares (about 341/, million acres), of which 4 717 000 Hect. 
are government, and 2258 000 Hect. communal, forests. For the 
intelligent management of these forests, a considerable number 
of higher officials is required, who receive their training, partly 
at the Universities, partly in special Forestry Academies. The 
condition of admission into the latter is, in Prussia, the possession of 
a leaving-certificate of a Gymnasium, of a Realgymnasium, or of a 
Higher Realschule. In Bavaria and Saxony, on the other hand, the 
certificates of only the two former kinds of schools are recognised.

founded 1830, to replace the Forestry Academy reorganised 1821 in 
Berlin in connection with the University. According to the Prussian 
regulations, the candidates for the higher Forestry service must first

Academy for at least two years, next pass a first examination, and 
then, as Forestry ,,Referendar®, follow for one year courses in law and 
political economy at a German University. After two more years of 
further practical preparation, the Forestry ,Referendar® can present 
himself for a second examination, and when successful, he has the 
title of Forestrv Assessor. and can receive an appointment.
