SECOND BIENNIAL STATEMENT 173 



The Society's practical work developed so rapidly that it 

 was at first impossible for the organization wholly to finance 

 its expenditures from the dues of its members. To facilitate 

 the work, and promote the rapid progress of the Society, 

 the Permanent Fund subscribed various sums to the treas- 

 ury; and it is our belief that other help of the same kind 

 may profitably be extended in the future, as emergencies 

 arise. 



We have said, over and over, that with sufficient Men, 

 Money and Publicity, a good remnant of our wild life can 

 be saved. The National Educators Conservation Society has 

 the Men and the Women, and it knows full well how to secure 

 Publicity. The only thing yet necessary is money ; and that 

 MUST be found! This organization is too fine and valuable 

 to be hampered for the $5,000 per year that is necessary for 

 the cost of its campaign work. There are no overhead 

 charges, and the legitimate field of activity is simply bound- 

 less! 



We bespeak for the Society a generous measure of finan- 

 cial support from the American people at large. It is need- 

 less to point out to the readers of this volume what this new 

 organization means in the schools of the United States.
