ing the conference said in part: "A
form Of recreation not so accessible
which has in 1t a peculiar hold on
that which Is elemental in human
nature, is hunting and fishing.
These are true outdoor sports in
the highest sense, and must be
pursued in a way that develops the
energy, perseverance, skill and
courage Of the Individual. They
call for personal direction, and can.
not be taken up precariously. There
Is q great wealth Of life and ex-
perience in this field which is never
exhausted, but is always fresh and
new. It il accompanied by traits
of character which make a uni.

these arts may well be cultivated
and cherished like a knowledge of
the humanities and the sciences.
Around hunting. and fishing IL
gathered q great wealth of prose
and poetry, which testifies to the
enduring interest which these sports
have held all through the develop
ment Of the race"
