one Of the most inspiring features Of
this last years benevolence is the deep
sociological insight with which the money
was given away. Experience has taught
that it requires almost as much skill and
forethought 10 give away a fortune as II
does to create It. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that such great organizations as the
General Education Board. the Rockefeller
Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation
the Altman Foundation and the like
have been reared At the head Of such
institutions are men OF large executive
capacity aud financial genius who have
spent years in preparing FOR this great
work Some are lawyers, bankers ana
ministers. while others received their
training in other branches Of endeavor
which fits them TO undertake the tremen-
dous responsibility Of giving away money.
Millions Of dollars pass through their

of view toward natural resources obtained
in the departments and controlled the

Through the General Land Office and
other government bureaus. the public re-
sources were being handled and disposed

of for the large purposes of constructive
development, and the habit of deciding
whenever possible in favor of private in

builder as against the strict construction
of the law, as 1t was to use the law in

there was as yet no real knowledge OF
their extent and condition. The relation
of the conservation OF natural resources
10 the problems of national welfare and
national efficiency had not yet dawned ON
the public mind The reclamation OF
arid public lands i'm the West was still
matter for private enterprise alone; and
our magnificent river system, with its
superb possibilities for public usefulness,
was dealt with 10y the national govern
ment not as a unit. but as a disconnected
series Of pork barrel problems. whose only
real interest was I'm their effect on the
reelection or defeat Of Congressman

to say. still obtains.
The place Of the farmer in the national
economy was still regarded solely as that
OF a grower of food to be eaten by others,
while the human needs and interests of
himself and his wife and children still re-

the government.
