The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Young Forester by Zane Grey: But for that wink I never could have seized my opportunity. It made me
remember my talks with Hiram. So I boiled down all that I had learned and
launched it on the Chief. Whether I was brief or not, I was out of breath
when I stopped. He appeared much surprised.
"Thank you," he said, finally. "You certainly have been observant." Then he
turned to his officers. "Gentlemen, here's a new point of view from
first-hand observation. I call it splendid conservation. It's in the line
of my policy. It considers the settler and lumberman instead of combating
him."
He shook hands with me again. "You may be sure I'll not lose sight of you.
Of course you will be coming West next summer, after your term at college?"
