LUXDY Director of Organization National Wildlife Federation Conservation, the poor Little Orphan Annie or education, has been adopted. An average of $76 yearly la spent on the education of each child in the United State. Up to now, only a few cents of that amount has p-one towards telling: Young America about the birds, animals, rivers, soil and forests to show how to conserve and restore natural resources. Now, something i3 being done about it in a nation-wide program carried on by the National Wildlife Federation. Fed-eration. The program of conservation education, which involves the placing plac-ing of educational units on fundamental funda-mental problems in the hands of school chijdren throughout the 48 states, came into being as the result of a country-wide survey made in 19-10. For years conservationists conserva-tionists have believed that instruction in-struction in the care and importance impor-tance of our natural resources was not being sufficiently emphasized em-phasized on the average educational educa-tional program. It took the nation-wide survey to prove that the people themselves wished their children to be better versed in tnis all-important subject. "Tell the children," America said in a chorus, "Tell the children chil-dren about conservation and tomorrow's to-morrow's America will not have to worry- so much( about our natural na-tural resources." Armed with this mandate, the National Wildlife Federation, in cooperation with a committee of educators and conservationists, prepared four units on basic phases phas-es of conservation problem for use of children from the third to eighth grades.
