Maryland Conservationist Pennsylvania has removed the Est political barrier to the protec- tion and preservation oi its wild- life. By establishing a permanent training school for all field per- sonnel engaged in the adminis- tration oi its wildlife program, the Keystone State has definitely clos- ed the last avenue open to politics and politicians. This rnovc has the support of the State's present gov. ernor. Georges H.

So the Game Commissioners cided that the one we and maintain the righ kind of an lot cf petty politics. Pennsylvania Board of finally de- io develop official family was to conduct a permanent school and fill all fut- ure positions with graduates from that institution. It was s. decision that should have a distinct bearing upon lut- ura wildlife conservation programs in other states which have grap- pled with the political problem. But the Board of Game Corn- missioners had more than the political angle in mind when the Stats training school was estab- lished. They wanted to assure fully qualified and trained officers in all branches of the field service. to increase general efficiency in game protection and management throughout the State. and to re- duce sdnunistratlve costs below those to be expected when un- trained personnel is employed. The selection oi the student classes is one of continuous elim- ination so efficiently conducted that the ex nditura of money. time and efort is com rati ely snail.
