PRESERVING THE FORESTS FROM
DESTRUCTION.
CRUSADE HEADED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT
FOREST FAMINE AND FLOOD RANAGE.
RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD.

Reserving forests in the west from
monopolization for private gain is
government policy with which the peo-
pie have become somewhat familiar,
our national forest reserves amounting
now to nearly sixty million acres; but
the idea of applying this principle TO
the older forests in the eastern states
may be new to some people and Yet
is becoming Il prominent one. Moth
ing is giving it popularity and import
ance so much as the great interest
manifested by the President i'll the
subject.
There are proposed great national
reservations in the southern Appala-
chian forests, in the White Mountains,
in Minnesota, and i'll other eastern
states entirely separate and apart from
the great reservations i'll the west.
President Roosevelt is an arch diSci-
pie of forestry and the great promi-
nence into which the subject has
jumped may be indicated by the
growth of the Bureau Of Forestry
from IL small office, n few years ago,
employing half Il dozen people, to an
institution with annual appropriations
of half a million dollars. employing
hundreds of trained foresters in the
field and having the supervision, ac-
tual and tentative of nearly Il hundred
nlllllOn acftS OF forest.
If there ever was Il national queS-
ton it is forestry ana the people of
the country are wise in waking up. or
fortunate in being wakened up, TO its
overShadowing Importance before IL
revocable damage shall have been
done.
The largest of the proposed eastern
forest reserves is that in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains and that its
establishment is Il matter of national
concern was dwelt upon with empha-
sis by President Roosevelt in his adj
dress at Raleigh, y. c., on October 20.
He pointed out how vitality southern
forests affect southern indus
tries and thus the entire coun-
try. The entire south--the territory
east OF the Mississippi and south of
the Ohio rivers-is affected by this
proposed reservation of some four
million mountain acres i'll which rise
all the rivers which water TINS area.
The President said:
Il want to say Il word TO You on Il
special subject in which all the coun-
try is concerned. but in which North
, Carolina has n special concern. The
preservation of the forests is vital to
the welfare of every country. China
| and the Mediterranean countries offer
examples of the terrible effect of de
forestation upon the physical gcogra-
Iphy, and therefore ultimately upon
| the national wel-being of the nations.
| one of the most obvious duties which
cur generation owes to the generations
| that are to come after us is TO pre-
serve the existing forests. The prime
difference between civilized and un-
civilized peoples is that in civilized

The child is given every possible en-

the Indians philosophy that whipping
breaks the spirit of the child and the
Indian ambition is to be brave and
self-reliant. 1t is a fact that though
the Indian child is not subject to cor
poral punishment and the ruder forms
of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rever-
eat, obedient, docile and extraordina-
rily respectful toward their parents
and seniors. 1t is the Spartan quality
which the mother and father strive to
