CONSERVATION BY EDUCATION.
(Report of Alden H. Hadley, Department of Education, U.S.A.)
Eight years ago, Edward Howe Forbush, widely known ornithologist and conservationist, and long our beloved co-worker, in rendering his Annual Report, made this statement: —“ The laws for the protection of wild life in New England are now as near perfection as in any part of the country. ... In New England we are turning from conservation, now fairly well assured, to education, which will insure the continuation of rational conservation in the future. . . These words, coming from one who had devoted a long and useful life to the cause of bird-protection, are of unusual significcance in serving to emphasise the great importance which to-day is being attached to education as a means of helping to solve our problems of wild-life conservation. In other words, we are realising more and more that legislative enactments designed to protect our wild birds and mammals, in order to be effective, must everywhere be backed by an intelligent and sympathetic public opinion. —Bird Lore.
