HieOuidgors FORESTRY EDUCATION The state of Georgia has added Forestry to the courses of study of 100 high schools in which vocational agriculture is taught. Demonstration forests of about 10 acres have been leased for the use of eaoh of the schools. The State forest service haa surveyed and mapped each of theae areas and made a, plan for its management. Representatives of the sendee will visit the school forest two or three times each year and carry on various demonstrations. The State's vocational agriculture department has outlined a series of jobs to be done on the forests by the students. A summer camp is to be held each year for the training of selected students. Each student developing satisfactory proficiency in the work of the camp is to receive a certificate as vocational forester, recommending him for employment ia non-technical forestry work. "The conservation of America's forest lands depends greatly vpon the knowledge the younger generation acquires during the school period," said M. K. Reckdrd, General Manager of the Iataak Whiten League of America, in commenting on the subject of forestry. "The reckless destruction of our forests in the past is a sorry sight for the present generation to face. We have learned our lesson and no doubt the saving of our timber lands will become an important issue in the lives of those who are to follow us. "The Ixaak Walton League has fought a hard battle to bring about a greater understanding of the necessity of trees and foliage in curtailing floods, supplying game cover and helping to beautify outdoor America generally. The real value of a tree cannot be measured in dollars and cents anymore. Our forests are really our greatest assets in the program of conservation. Without them we could not hope to keep animal and bird life from disappearing, fish life abundant in our lakes and streams and save thousands of acres of land from becoming flooded or drying up. *1 hope to see forestry a part of the teachings of all our public schools Within a few ^ears," said Mr. Reckord in conclusion. "It will help wonderfully to create an appreciation of nature and its welfare in the hearts of America's young people, the conservationists of tomorrow."
