The author points to the necessity of propagating knowledge on the soil and suggests ways to do it. Firstly, he emphasises shortage of didactic aids for comprehensive teaching of soil science. He discusses this problem in comparison to other natural sciences far better known. As there are no useful teaching aids, the author draws our attention to the importance of the soil monolith, soil displays, posters and atlases. Moreover, he emphasises the role of Internet in education. Finally, he proposes to found a soil profile museum for educational purposes.
