Through the medium of Conservation and Conservation 

 Sch^rchildren ^f ^^f^ ^^^ public is kept in touch with what is of 

 interest in the conservation and protection of Canada's 

 pubhc domain. 



Canada's resources and their development receive far too little 

 attention in our schools. Conservation is distributed monthly to 

 2,600 school teachers, and, through them, many thousands of Canada's 

 younger generation have the enormous importance of the efficient 

 utilization of Canada's natural resources impressed upon them. 



The Commission has supplied to the Khaki University in London 

 numerous copies of its reports. These publications are being used as 

 text books in the continuation courses. Their study by the soldiers 

 overseas will prove of great value to the men, personally, and also, 

 through the creating of added interest in their country, be a distinct 

 advantage to Canada. 



Canadian Press ^^^ newspapers of Canada have stood loyally back of 

 Supports Conservation and have given largely of their space 



Conservation ^^ reprinting its material. They have also very 



generously made editorial reference to Canada's natural resources and 

 their protection. Especially has this been the case recently regarding 

 the proper planning and preparation of land for soldiers homesteading. 

 The newspapers and periodicals of Quebec have given unlimited 

 space in the campaign for securing the passing of a Town Planning 

 Act by the Quebec Legislative Assembly. 



Our editor was present at the annual meeting of the Canadian 

 Press Association, when the opportunity was taken advantage of to 

 impress upon the visiting editors the work of the Commission and its 

 \alue to Canada. 



Conservation and Conservation oj Life have been issued regularly 

 as also special newspaper bulletins as occasion required. 



The Annual Report was issued in English and French. 



Published '^ departure was made this year from the usual 



custom, in that the larger portion of the edition was 



bound in paper covers. This has effected a considerable saving, as 



the cost of cloth binding has very materially increased. 



Fire Waste in Canada, by J. Grove Smith, our Fire Prevention 

 Engineer, was published, and has had a very heavy demand. This 

 report has been widely commented upon, and has aroused much 

 interest in fire prevention. 



Forest Resources of British Columbia, by Dr. H. N. Whitford and 

 Roland D. Craig, has just been issued, as has also Electric Generation 

 and Distribution in Canada, by Leo. G. Denis.
