college To Offer Ed Course
For Public School Teachers
A Course in conservation education, the 9rst of its kind in Penn
sylvania, will he offered to public school teachers at the 1946 Summer
Sessions of the Pennsylvania State College:
The coarse, known as the Pennsylvania Conservation Education
Laboratory for Teachers, was established through the efforts of 15
State organizations interested in the conservation. Of natural resources.
The first session will be - held from
July 1 to 20 and the second ses
sion from July '22 to AugUst 10
Teachers who enroll for the
course will be taught conserva
tion 'of forests, minerals, wildlife,
and soils. Much of their time will
be spent in actual visits to forests,
game reserves, fisheries, and
farms. Successful enrollees will
be awarded three college credits
for each three weeks session.
Dr. lienry'Xonower, director of
teacher education and certifica
tion, state department of Public
Instruction, and executive direc
tor of the Advisory Committee,
regards the newly-established
laboratory as the first step in "a
significant program that will ev
entually influence instructional
programs through the enlightened
point of view which the teachers
themselves•acquire.
• "When teachers become fully
aware of the• application of con-:
servation principles to every
phase of life," he adds, "then
there is hope. that each , succeeding
generation will learn of, its re
sponsibility in, a positive, con
structive program -for the preser
vation of natural resources."
The committee, of which MrS.
Charles Runk, of Pittsburgh, is
chairman, is cooperating Wth the
College in providing consultants,
instructional staff, and _ financial
assistance.

clothes,and household goods. But after the war we were helped by
friends and relativeS. W 6 found another house and managed to gatli
'hs However, last week during the
er all we wanted for the next mont
absence of my wife and myself,
burglars broke into my house and I
stole almost all our clothes and
shoes except what we were wear
ing that night."
So writes the Dutch professor.
Through the work of a com
mittee of the National Bureau of
Standards, Washington, D. C., a
plan has-been devised to aid "the
needy scientists of Europe. They
have been asked to write to the
committee, listing specific items
of clothing that they need.
