THE CHILDREN The success of the conservation movement in the United States depends in the end on the understanding the women have of it.

No forward step in this whole campaign has been more deeply appreciated or more welcomed than that which the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution and other organizations of women have taken in appointing conservation committees.
Patriotism is the key to the success of any nation, and patriotism first strikes its roots in the mind of the child.

Patriotism which does not begin in early years may, though it does not always, fail under the severest trials.

I say "not always," for many men and women have proved their patriotic devotion to this country although they were born elsewhere.

Yet, as a rule, it must begin with the children.
