Excerpt from The Adventures of a Nature Guide The people of the United States have within the past generation created national parks, state parks, city parks, and made wild-life reservations, recognizing their higher values to people, for their uses in education, recreation, and hopefulness. I wish that every park had a nature guide and that every wild place might early become a park. There now are a number Of Cabinet positions, each with a secretary to control and direct its work. But is it not time to have a Directory of Parks and Recreation, something for all time and for all peo ple? Instead of one man directing this there should be a number, a board of directors, who are directly responsible to the public. This should be a department separate from and independent Of all Cabinet positions and should outrank them.
