EDUCATIONAL EXTENSION PROGRAM
Reading edition
The Educational Extension Section of the Illinois State Geological Survey reaches the public through a number of channels, including nontechnical publications, rock and mineral collections for Illinois schools and educational groups, lectures, exhibits, correspondence involving identification of rocks and minerals, news items for the press, and field trips.
During each year six field trips are given, in widely separated parts of the state, for teachers, students, and laymen. The general program is especially designed to assist in teaching geological sciences and to help make Illinois citizens aware of the state’s great mineral wealth.
