NATURE STUDY REVIEW 



[9:7— Oct., 1913 



In the year iqo6 (July i, 1905, to June 30, 1906), the first full 

 year after the forest service was put in charge of the forests, the 

 timber receipts were about $250,000, in the fiscal year 1907 something 

 less than $^00,000, and in IQ08 about $850,000. In 1909 timber 

 receipts dropped back to less than $750,000, but in 1910 and again 

 in 191 1 ivere over $1,000,000, and in 191 2 were nearly $1,100,000, 

 as against about $1,250,000 for the year just closed.

 Miss Bessie B. Kanouse, Teacher 



I am enclosing a picture of our nature-study comer that we 

 arranged last year in a one-room country school. While the picture 

 does not show nearly all there is to be seen, it may give you some- 

 thing of an idea of what we did, and I thought it might be of 

 interest to you. 



It was the first work of the kind ever done in that school, or as 

 far as I know, in the county, and the children were delighted with 

 it. I will be glad when more work along nature-study lines can be 

 done in the schools.
