 education 



It was set forth clearly in the Second Biennial Report of the State 

 Forester, that it was only by means of education that the value of a 

 definite forest policy in the state would become clear to the public 

 in general, so that the benefits to be derived therefrom might become 

 part of the public consciousness. That this is true has been increas- 

 ingly evident to the State Forester during his work in the state in the 

 past five years, and it has also become much more evident that one of 

 the most important points where the education should be carried on 

 was in the public schools and thence through the children and by 

 their agency, into the homes. 



Addresses have been made by the State Forester and his staff 

 before the assembles of the public schools, women's clubs of the state, 

 boy and girl scout organizations, civic clubs, and farmers' meetings. 

 In addition a large number of addresses have been delivered before 

 interested timberland owners throughout the eastern section of the 

 state in the interest of the formation of Forest Fire Protective Asso- 

 ciations, the nature of which has ibeen discussed earlier in this report. 



The State Forester prepared a paper by invitation for the Tenth 

 Southern Forestry Congress held in Louisville, Kentucky, February 

 15-17, 1928, also addressed by invitation the Eleventh Southern Fores- 

 try Congress at New Orleans, April 4-5, 1929. 



Bulletins 



The following bulletins nave been issued during the past period: 

 "Forest Trees of Kentucky — How to Know Them" has proved very 

 popular, being used to a great extent as a tree textbook in the state 

 schools. A statistical leaflet, "Kentucky's Forests," has also been 

 widely distributed. 



Publicity 



This department has continued its policy of presenting the fea- 

 tures of its work at every opportunity in the magazines and news- 

 papers throughout the state, and the press has cooperated to the fullest 

 extent. 



Each year since and including 1924 the Forest Service has had an 

 exhibit at the State Fair in Louisville. This has increased a little in 

 size and scope each year. The material making the exhibit embraced 

 a display of various uses for wood material, distribution of wood 

 products in the state, and transparencies and bromides representing 

 various phases of forest life and conditions. The value of this exhibit 

 as far as the general public is concerned is adequately shown by the 

 interest displayed therein.
