real founder was Clifford Pinchot, and
that the fundamental idea of the con
ference was conservation in it's broad

tended to usurp legislative functions,
but it can give legislators the benefit
of things learned through executive
experience. The governor advocated

one Of those versatile men who
is as much at home addressing a
college audience as he is presiding at
a meeting of directors. Himself a
graduate of Harvard, and a man Of
great business ability, he has a COM
prehension of the relation Of educa-
ton to industry that is refreshing. He
does not regard education as simply a
method OF increasing earning capacity,
but holds the view that it fits men to
