State Parks of Wisconsin 



as among the most energetic, enterprising and prosperous of Ameri- 

 can commonwealths — perhaps most markedly enterprising in mat- 

 ters of popular education and the science of government. Much of 

 its material success is owing to favorable geographical position, and 

 to abundant products of earth and water; but quite as great is the in- 

 tellectual debt that Wisconsin owes to her cosmopolitan population 

 that has brought to her service the best of many lands. Both intel- 

 lectually and materially, she faces none but pleasant prospects." 

 How true this picture is, how encouraging, and how closely it bears 

 upon the present significant movement for State Parks, the latest il- 

 lustration of Wisconsin's foresight, enterprise and democracy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



John Nolen, 

 Landscape Architect.
