What young men determine to do at
whatever cost of effort, self-denial, and endurance, provided that their
objects are good and within the possibility of attainment, they will
surely accomplish in so large a proportion of cases that the failures
are negligible. If all that a man has or is, if his death and his daily
life, are wholly and relentlessly at the service of his ideal, without
hesitancy or reservation, then he will achieve his object. Either by
himself or his successors he will achieve it, for he disposes of the
greatest power to which humanity can attain. Under such conditions there
is no man among us who cannot render high service to our beloved
country.
CHAPTER IX
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.
