About this book
Schoolchildren are the intended readers of this 1920 reader on conserving forests, wildlife and other natural resources. Harold W. Fairbanks, whose other titles include Home Geography and Practical Physiography, prepared it for the World Book Company's Conservation Series. The introduction argues that enthusiasm for conservation must reach children, and notes that planted forests lessen erosion and floods and encourage wild creatures to return. Photographs and color paintings illustrate it, among them a passenger pigeon, an extinct species, and it includes poems reprinted from American Forestry and the Century Magazine.
