Abstract:

The word "conservation" appears to have undergone a considerable change in use and meaning during the twentieth century from the original narrow meaning of "guarding or protecting;" for today we use the word "Conservation" to indicate both the study and the management of the whole complex network of man's natural environment (3). Dr. Paul B. Sears Director of Yale University's Conservation Program defined conservation as"Man's attempt to come to terms with his environment" (2). After spending more than twenty years attempting to teach young men, rather than subiect-matter of college courses, I can fully agree with Dr. Firman E. Bean when he said "Conservation is a way of thinking,"and, "It begins with man himself" (1).
