FAIRBANKS, HAROLD WELLMAN. Conservation reader. il *$1.20 World bk. 338
20–8813
This book is one of the Conservation series and is especially designed for the education of children in right ways of looking at nature. It is the author’s opinion that much of the enthusiasm for conservation will expend itself uselessly unless it can be made to reach the children and the purpose of the book is to present its principles to pupils in a simple and interesting manner. Among the contents are: How our first ancestors lived; The earth as it was before the coming of civilized men; How far will nature restore her wasted gifts? Things of which soil is made; The use and care of water; How the forests are wasted; Our forest playgrounds; What is happening to the wild flowers; What shall we do when the coal, oil, and gas are gone? What is happening to the animals and birds; How to bring the wild creatures back again. Among the many illustrations are two color prints and there is an index.
