THE TRAINING OF A FORESTER 



of applying foresight and common-sense to 

 the other natural resources as well as to the 

 forest was natural and inevitable. It works 

 out, equally as a matter of course, into the 

 conception of a planned and orderly de- 

 velopment of all that the earth contains for 

 the uses of men. This leads in turn to the 

 application of the same principle to other 

 questions and resources. It was foreseen 

 from the beginning by those who were re- 

 sponsible for inaugurating the Conservation 

 movement that its natural development 

 would in time work out into a planned and 

 orderly scheme for national efficiency, based 

 on the elimination of waste, and directed 

 toward the best use of all we have for the 

 greatest good of the greatest number for the 

 longest time. It is easy to see that this 

 principle (the Forester's principle, first 

 brought to public attention by Foresters) is 

 the key to national success.
