 Washington, D. C., oct. 26, 1909. To the Editor:
 Dear Sir-In an address delivered at the last meeting of the Continental Congress of the Daughters or the American Revolution, MT. Clifford Pin- chot, National Forester, stated that patriotism. the keynote of our organ ization, was also the keynote Of the success of any nation; that the con- servation problem: Shall we con- tinue, as a nation, to exist in we'll being" is one of the fundamental problems of patriotism--and urged us, as a patriotic organization of women. to make familiar the idea of conser- vation, and support 1t in our homes, in our schools, and in all possible ways.
 With this purpose in view the D. A. R. Conservation Committee have agreed to prepare material twice a month for publication, and send today the first installment to newspapers in twenty nine States.
 By the middle of November two lec- lures on forest conservation will be ready. and later, others will follow. These will, in every instance, be sent to any school or town upon payment of actual cost of packing. etc.
 Short articles, pertaining to con- servation in any of its branches, will be furnished free of cost, and any questions answered as fully as pos sible.
 May we not ask for your help and support?
 Very sincerely, Bell Merrill Draper, (Mrs. Amos G. Draper.) Chairman D. A. R. Conservation Committee.
