the voice of conservation been heard in our public schools and in part was as fol lows : the beginning of this question of conservation was at the confer ence held on may 13th 1909 at the white house which were attended by all the leading political and fin ancial enterprisers of the country the conference lasted several days and all the questions regarding the waste of our national resources were dwelt upon although our nation had at first the idea that our natural resources were illimitable one need not look so far ahead to see the exhaustion of our iron and coal supply and in a score of years our best asset lumber will show a fast approach ing end in order to have the subject of waste dealt with intelligently by the rising generation it is neces sary that the schools take up ques tions regarding the conservation of these resources and show them to the pupils in the proper light the most important subjects re lated to this question are science and geography the subject science covers a vast territory the unfailing source of heat the sun will eventually be used to gen erate electricity for heating light ing and cooking in our homes and motive power for the industrial world experiments have already been made in that direction and sooner or later the sun's rays will be used to advantage by scientific principles the immense amount of water power available and at present go ing to waste avill some day be used conservatively and the loss of tim ber as fuel for motive power will not be felt so keenly geography should be taught un der two heads : physical and com mercial and not merely as a means of understanding what we read in books of travel etc the commer cial side will show where products are best obtained and where the best market for these profits is the physical side will show how the water supply depends upon the method of agriculture and forest ing if these questions are taught properly in the schools of today continued on fourth page lehigh
