Conservation Text Books
For School Use Soon.

Early introduction of conservation as
a course of study in MinneSota's public
schools looms as result of action taken
by the state board of education at a
meeting just held. 1t voted to cooper
ate with the state department of con-
servation in the publication of con-
servation study course booklet for public
school teachers.
The author of this booklet is Dr.
George W. Friedrich, member of the
faculty of the St. Cloud state teachers
college. Dr. Friedrich, former chair
man of the state conservation COM
mission when it was five-member
body, has advocated for years that con-
servation be made a definite part of the
public schools courses of study. He
donates his services on the booklet and
the cost of printing it is to be shared
by the state board of education and
the department of conservation.
This newest educational development
is in response to the increasing demands
on the part of a discerning public for
increased emphasis on the vital i'm
portance of this subject on the future
progress and general welfare of the
race. Other manifestations of the
growing public interest in this matter
include a strong movement to have
conservation put in the public school
courses by legislative enactment and
the announcement by several publishers
of forthcoming early publications of
text books on the subject.
: One Minnesota publisher has an
nounced that one such textbook will be
out by the first of the year.
