See references in footnotes in this chapter. Dunn, THE COMMUNITY AND THE CITIZEN, Chapter XIV, "Waste and Saving." The local public library, the State Library, and the State Agricultural College, will doubtless furnish lists of references and perhaps provide materials. The United States Bureau of Education will send list of references. CHAPTER XIV THE RELATION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND "NATURE WAS MUCH BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN MAN. SHE WOULD SUFFER NO SUDDEN HIGHWAYS TO BE THROWN ACROSS HER SPACES; SHE ABATED NOT AN INCH OF HER MOUNTAINS, COMPROMISED NOT A FOOT OF HER FORESTS. ... FOR THE CREATION OF THE NATION THE CONQUEST OF HER PROPER TERRITORY FROM NATURE WAS FIRST NECESSARY ... A BOLD RACE HAS DERIVED INSPIRATION FROM THE SIZE, THE DIFFICULTY, THE DANGER OF THE TASK." |
