people have f1ocked to the national
forests and to every available out
door breathing space has proved it.
There should be more. Whenever
financial advantage is held in one
hand and the outdoors in the other
the financial hand wins. There are
even now attempts to take away some
of the recreation grounds that have
been already established.
We need these places not only as
educational institutions as well. We
need universities of the outdoors Just
as badly as we need universities of
the indoors. The basis Of American
character is built on outdoor sport
and recreation. Any observer of CO.
temporary life knows that we need
more of these great outdoor places
where people can see nature from the
ground up.
Before any more of our great
natural recreation areas that have
been set aside, not by law, but by
nature are devoted to use of much
less value to the Nation as a whole.
let us decide on their best use and
devote them to it.
We can build universities of book
knowledge any time we want to, any
place we want to. The great out
door universities cannot be built later
on. They must be preserved as they

Joe Kirkwood was the first of our

If you will watch carefully you will
observe that on most successful farms
are little patches of trees and brush.
Perhaps along a fence, perhaps in
the middle of field, you will see
little clumps of trees left standing,
like oases in desert. Why are they
there? They could have been culti-
waited. They were not as good land
as the rest, but they would have
yielded a certain small amount of
grain, anyway. But the farmer is
wise person. He has weighed the
respective values of that little patch
often only a few yards in diameter
as a poor yielder of grain and as
a most excellent place for the noon
Siesta.
1t is there that he stops for a rest
on a hot afternoon and it is there
that the jug of water is left: and
there, too. he sits to eat his lunch
The farmer has realized that such
places are necessary to comfort
and therefore to efficient working
conditions. What is lost in ground
is more than made up in increased
energy for the worker
To a certain extent this same plan
has been followed in the United
States as a whole Some of the
regions that are best suited to serve
as recreation areas have been set
aside. There are the national parks
and monuments, and large number
of State parks. But there are not
