Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Conservation: An Address
T was with considerable pleasure, and much trepidation, that I I accepted the call of the president of the Institute to address you upon the subject of conservation. Pleasure, because it would afford me an Opportunity to face again an audience of oil men and renew old acquaintances once more while perhaps presenting to them some thoughts that may be worthy of consideration; trepidation, because of my conviction that I should fall far short of doing justice to a subject which must with each succeeding year become more and more of paramount importance.
In the future, when most of the great problems of today are solved, our descendants will find before them in ever increasing importance the vital question of Conservation; and in the far distance, when the world is dying and the last human beings are eking out a miserable existence fighting for the last grains of wheat or drops of water, it is Conservation that will be uppermost in their minds.
