Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...to be done to-day is the convincing of authorities that this work is only half done when they have accepted good devices and ordered them installed, and the hardest task of all is to convince the taxpayer that the constant maintenance is a legitimate interest on the investment so that he will support the authorities in their endeavor. Illustrations of this need may be found in the lack of maintenance of mechanical ventilating systems; in failure to create a fresh-air habit; in that lack of watchful care at every point which is insisted upon in the policing of water supplies; and last, but not least, in that demand for the spread of information and that arousing of civic interest which make the individual a responsible part of the community. The sanitary structure is built to-day, as always, on clean air, clean soil, wholesome water, and good food. It is liable to be undermined at any one of the four corners. The casual passer-by who sees a crack in the edifice should make it his duty to see that it is repaired, and the man who is found digging a trench near by should be summarily dealt with. In other words, not only should efficient watchers be provided, but each one should report a failure to observe regulations. The informer has always had a bad repute, which arose from supposed spite, or the personal advantage he gained. Modern philanthropy, however, interferes in the most private concerns: it prevents a man from drowning himself; it prevents him from poisoning himself with drugs; it should prevent him from unclean ways which harm the community. Information as to odors and smells in the air is recognized as legitimate; they come under the head of nuisance. Information as to misuse of land in the vicinity of water supplies should be...

Conservation was the first nationwide political movement in American history to grapple with environmental problems like waste, pollution, resource exhaustion, and sustainability. At its height, the conservation movement was a critical aspect of the broader reforms undertaken in the Progressive Era (1890-1910), as the rapidly industrializing nation struggled to protect human health, natural beauty, and "national efficiency." This highly effective Progressive Era movement was distinct from earlier conservation efforts and later environmentalist reforms. Conservation in the Progressive Era places conservation in historical context, using the words of participants in and opponents to the movement. Together, the documents collected here reveal the various and sometimes conflicting uses of the term "conservation" and the contested nature of the reforms it described. This collection includes classic texts by such well-known figures as Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and John Muir, as well as texts from lesser-known but equally important voices that are often overlooked in environmental studies: those of rural communities, women, and the working class. These lively selections provoke unexpected questions and ideas about many of the significant environmental issues facing us today.

Excerpt from Conservation by Sanitation: Air and Water Supply; Disposal of Waste (Including a Laboratory Guide for Sanitary Engineers) The sanitary engineer has a treble duty for the next few years of civic awakening. Having the knowledge, he must be a leader in developing works and plants for state and municipal improve ment, at the same time he is an expert in their employ. But he must be more; as a health officer he must be a teacher of the people to Show them why all these things are to be. The slow ness with which practicable betterments have been adopted among the rank and file is, partly at least, due to the separation of functions, of specialization, and partly to the exclusiveness of agents in the work.
