To the Teachers and Scho.11 Officials of Louisiana

Greetings:

If one accepts the modern school as an effective institution for the attainment of improved living, then a consideration of the conservation of natural resources as one phase of the school program is no longer debatable. The importance of the problems con- nected with the wise use of natural resources and their broad implications for the welfare of our people leave the school no alternative.

Our place as a nation has been established because our people have had the energy and skill to develop and use our abundant supply of natural resources. So abundant were these resources when first discovered that they were looked upon as being limit. less and inexhaustible. The face of this nation has been changed through the: years by those who have thoughtlessly wasted wildlife of all sorts, large areas of fertile land, and vital water supplies. In the past, industry has been draining our valuable mineral resources and changing the ecology of our streams and forests. The carelessness of past generations is now apparent; the lack of pre- science resulted in the destruction of our lavishly plentiful natural resources. Our resources will last only if we accept the obligations of our stewardship. We should use rationally, build up, and distribute equitably in terms of public benefit, what we call the natural resources of the country. This is conservation.

Sincere

Wi. Er. J. Dodd Superintendent

ii FOREWORD

This publication has been prepared to accompany the revised Wildlife and Fish Section of A Guide for Teaching Conservation in the Schools of Louisiana. Its purpose is to provide teachers with information about possible sources of teaching materials that can be obtained free or with only a small expenditure of funds.

Not only is this bulletin a bibliography of materials appropriate for teaching wildlife and fish conservation, but it is also a volume of evalua tions. Each item listed herein has been annotated to the end that teachers need not order these materials for inspection. The annotations provide teachers information on which to base judgments as to what will best serve their purposes. Thus, they are able to save much time and effort.

The preparation of this annotated bibliography represents a tremendous investment of time and effort by those who have produced it. If dividends are to be collected on this investment, they must be claimed by the teachers who use it to help improve the teaching of conservation in the schools. It is earnestly hoped that the children in Louisiana's schools will be the ultimate beneficiaries.

Similar lists of materials have been or will be prepared to accompany the other three Guides that have been or will be revised as rapidly as possible. Both Guides and bibliographies will be combined eventually, with supplements to the latter being issued annually.

Miss Bonnie Mae Smith and Mrs. Genevieve Cousins, Coordinators of Elementary and High School Conservation Education, respectively, are to be commended for their labors in the preparation of this bulletin. The assistance they received from the numerous sources--individuals, agencies, organizations, and businesses--is gratefully acknowledged by the rf-,,erva don Section of the North Louisiana Supplementary Education Center.
