Inez Naomi Stevenson OF Waterviile
read an instructive article on the pre-
servation of our forests; subject: 1--WE
Must Preserve Our Forests"
THE Americans are the favored
heirs of nature. No other people Oh
earth ever entered into possession of
such an equipment of natural re-
sources as lay ready to the hand Of
the settlers of this country and no
other people ever used their resources
with equal vigor or secured an equal
measure of success. The material de-
velopment OF our country during the
past half century in particular haS
been nothing short of marvellous. But
what has been the cost of this de-
velopment? In plain terms this: A
shameful, reckless waste of present
resources and a disregard that is al
most criminal for the needs of future
generations. OF all the natural re-
sources of the country the forests have
been the most shamefully treated.
We have come nearer to exhaustinG
this than any other of natures gifts
This exhausting drain on our
forests is beginning to be felt by all
lumber consuming industries and in a
very few years when too late every
one in the country who has not al
ready been aroused will by u
| tremendous increase in prices be
rudely awakened to a realization OF
the situation.

destruction of the trees the present

This daily contest with nature, the reg

crushed the romantic spirit which
makes some nations picturesque. We
find none of the wild sagas or chants Of
the northern people. The poet sings to
them of fairy sprites. Their world is
inhabited by actualities. They are not
comtcmplative philosophers like the
Germans: they indulge in little senti-
ment. Life here below has been their
study; how to improve the conditions
of man upon this planet: how to make
the home attractive by art, music,
flowers; how to dispense justice to rich
and poor alike; relieve the Unfortunate

life; how to protect the oppressed from
other lands, and lastly how to teach
the world that one can be rich without

Miss 1donia Cecilia Tubbs of Water

to the literary exercises of Colby's SStn
commencement. Her subject was
THE Hollow Land"
TO the patriot, to the lover of civil
and religious liberty. as well as to the
student of art and science of any land
the history of the Netherlands republic
and country must always have a pecu-
liar charm. But apart from it's general
features this history is so interviewer
with that of England and America that
any one concerned with the past of
either of these countries will find it a
subject of unfaiIing interest.
This country has indeed welded a
great influence over civilization The
best of the laws of both Great Britain
and America are derived from the
Netherlands. In Holland alone the civ
!liZation of ancient Rome with its gen.
ius for government was never eXtin-
guished and the feudal system took
but feeble root. The people preserved
more purely than any other their Ger
manic ideas and institutions but en-
grated on them the arts, the learning
and the laws derived from civilized and
civilizing Italy. For art. for science
and deep scholarship no other country
could be compared with Holland in her
palmy days. But she owed her premi-
nence in these not to an aristocracy

and musicians, who fostered science
and broad learning were the plain cit

The situation is alarming but It is
