A CHANCE IN THE OPEN FOR ALL 



"It seems to me that thoughtful men should not be accused of exag- 

 gerated fears when they deprecate the wealth-mad rush and struggle of 

 American life and the consequent neglect of out-door recreation, with the 

 impairment of that mental and physical vigor absolutely essential to our 

 national welfare, and so abundantly promised to those who gratefully rec- 

 ognize, in Nature's adjustment to the wants of man, the care of the good 

 God- who 'made and loveth all.' 



" Manifestly, if outdoor recreations are important to the individual and 

 to the nation, and if there is danger of their neglect, every instrumentality 

 should be heartily encouraged which aims to create and stimulate their in- 

 dulgence in every form." — Grover Cleveland.
