20 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. GEORGE E. TABBERT. HE forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God, for they were the best he ever planted. The whole continent was a garden, more beautiful than all the other wild parks and gardens of the globe. Bright seas made its border, and lakes and rivers gleamed in the broad basins and glistened in the fruitful valleys. Far below the surface lay the coal and minerals hidden and treasured by the ages. From the mountains of wealth came rushing rivers and mighty waterfalls abundantly charged with strength to move all the wheels of industry, This store-house, this garden formed our great American heritage — a heritage not to be excelled in all the world. Such was this country some three centuries ago when our liberty-loving, intelligent, and ambitious fathers landed on this continent. With these resources is there any wonder that the United States ranks first among the civilized nations ' ? But, sad to relate, this garden, this granary, this treasure- house has been dissipated far beyond the realization of the American people. A few years ago representatives were sent here by foreign governments to study our methods. They were sent because European nations could not understand our marvelous powers of production, our rapid recuperation after panics and crises. These men were convinced that in all the world the land that was best adapted for the development and preservation of a happy people was the United States of America. They were so convinced that now the United States is universally known as the “Land of Unlimited Opportunity.” This world to-day is a world of wants. We are prone to forget that man is a land animal, that his sustenance comes from the earth. We are prone to forget that future generations must be sheltered, clothed, and fed. And more than all our forgetting, we have yet to learn that the earth’s resources are limited. We, as a nation, have been prodigal of our wealth. We have been reckless in our wastefulness. Look at the wanton destruction that has been going on for the past hundred years. Our buffaloes have been slaughtered to practical extermination. Natural gas and oil have been treated as though they were abundant as sea water. Coal, that master agent of power and progress, has been lavishly dissipated. The greater part of its strength has merely served to spread darkness above and unsightly rubbish below. Through the agency of coal England has surpassed all other nations of Europe, and
