LECTURES. 



high scliools of the state, as is evick'need by the record whicli shows that 

 more than thirty were visited during the period. Ketiirii engagements

 One long-i)ostponed tri]) to southern California resulted in a series 

 of nineteen lectures and a total attendance of 9275. The demand for 

 lectures continued from fisli and game protective associations. 



A particularly fruitful field of endeavor has been the numerous train- 

 ing classes for scout masters, camp fire guardians and leaders of girl 

 scouts. Eight meetings with such groups have resulted in stimulating 

 the interest of those who deal with boys and girls. Conservation needs 

 can most readily be spread by contact with such groups as these. 



Each spring, a series of nine lectures on fish and game have been 

 given in a course in forestry at the University of California. These 

 lectures aiford a splendid opportunity for inspiring a student group 

 that later goes out and carries the message of conserv^ation into the 

 field of forestry and industry. 



The usual series of illustrated lectures have been given at the State 

 Fair at Sacramento each September.
