Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select List of References on the Conservation of Natural Resources in the United States This is the third list in which the Division of Bibliography has had the cooperation of the State and Legislative Reference librarians throughout the country. Some of the cooperatorssuggested that arguments in favor of Federal control andarguments in favor of state control be separately grouped. A great many references could be arranged quite naturally under the one or the other of these heads, but the bulk of the material did not lend itself to such treatment. It seemed best to meet the needs of debaters by means of the index under the headings Federal control, Federal vs. state control, and State control, and to adopt a classification more nearly suited to the character of the subject. The references have therefore been classified under the headings Bibliography, General works, Mineral resources, Water, Forests, Land and soil, and Human life. The conservation of human life opens up the whole subject of public health and hygiene and also of eugenics. These are not included in the list, the references in this section being confined to general discussions of the movement, its heeds and opportunities. The Canadian conservation question is so closely akin to ours, and touches us at so many points, that a brief section has been devoted to Canada. It includes only a few even of the more important references, but those desiring additional material will find an abundance in the Catalogue of Publications of the Canadian Commission of Conservation, a copy of which was received from Mr. James White, Secretary of the Commission, too late to go into the body of the list. Mention should also be made of the Bibliography prepared by Mr. Arthur V. White, and printed on pages 347-376 of the report on the Water-Powers of Canada published by the Canadian Commission of Conservation in 1911.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Resources of the United States The territory Of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, may be characterized as a land with a sunny exposure, as the belt of the continent thus occupied, and which extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific greets the sun by facing the south. Under laws in stituted by the Creator, and which govern the air when in motion, the winds near the surface of the earth, being colder and heavier, when not interrupted, flow from the north toward the south, where, becom ing warmer, and in consequence lighter, they float upward, thus producing a partial vacuum, and keep continuously restoring the equilibrium by returning, in the higher regions Of the atmosphere, from the south toward the north. This circulation of the air secures to the people Of the United States the blessings of a climate having, it is true, a varied temperature, but graduated in such manner as to invigorate the human constitution. NO such movement of the winds could occur uniformly in an east and west direction round the globe, since on the same parallels Of lati2 Natural Resources of t/ie Unitea' States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Conservation of Natural Resources Until a few years ago, the impression was prevalent that water, forests and the ores in the earth were abundantly plentiful and thus could be lavishly used., When the necessity of conservation 1 was made evident, far-sighted men started a campaign of public education and the subject became suddenly prominent in the magazines. But like all schemes started in theory and later applied in practice, this one developed an unexpected phase, in this case the conditions in the newer western states determining its form. Out of this situation grew two plans of conservation, one under Federal control and the other under State control. The issues are so well defined that the subject is an appropriate one for debate and in order to supply the needs of debaters, as well as general students, this volume has been prepared for the Debaters' Handbook Series. In conformity with the series the book contains a brief based on the best arguments available, a bibliography, and articles reprinted entirely or in part and grouped into general, affirmative and negative sections.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland and Its Natural Resources The western boundary of the State has not been finally settled. According to the early grants, this line should run due north from the head of the Potomac River. The North Branch was early regarded as the head of the river, but later surveys show that the South Branch is longer than the North Branch. The Fairfax Stone supposed to be placed at the westernmost source of the North Branch has been recently shown not to be at the head of that stream. Its real source is about one mile farther west, and this point has been recently marked by the State of Maryland with a monument known as the Potomac Stone. The questions at issue are now before the Supreme Court of the United States. The extreme width of the State from east to west is 240 miles, and the extreme length from north to south 125 miles, the latter, however, narrow ing toward the west where it becomes less than three miles at Hancock. Beyond this point it again broadens. The total area within the limits of the State is estimated at square miles, of which square miles are land. The remaining square miles are water, distributed as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alaska Its History, Climate Natural Resources The brief history of the discovery and occupa tion of Alaska byxthe Russians, which I have inr corporate'd in this work, has been compiled largely from the records of the russian-ameri can Company, as translated for me by Mr.' George Kostrometinoff. That part relating to the purchase of the country by the United States are matters of Congressional record, which the reader can easily verify by referring to the de bates had in the Senate and House of Represent atives, 1867 8. The remainder, and by far the larger part of the volume, is based upon personal observation and research, made during an official residence of severalyears in the Territory, during which time I personally visited all the different sections referred to for the special purpose of in vestigation and report. Concerning my estimate of the natural resources of these different sec tions, I am wholly content to await the confirma tion that certainly lies withinthe near future. F.
