life and interests. (See Nature-Study Review, Vol. 1. pp. 54-57, 

 March. 1905.) 



4. Nature-study presented according to principles advocated in 

 the foregoing is in harmony with the methods and rules of science, 

 and deserves to be called scientific. But it should stop short of the 

 principles and generalizations characteristic of science. 



EDITORIALS 



SPECIAL PREPARATION FOR TEACHERS OF NATURE-STUDY 



Within two or three months we hope to devote one number of 

 The Review to the above topic. Principals and directors of science 

 departments in normal schools are requested to send to the Managing 

 Editor's office printed literature or specially prepared manuscript 

 which will correctly represent the special work of training teachers of 

 nature-study and elementary science in their institutions. 



BEST NATURE- STUDY BOOKS 



Some months ago the Managing Editor sent a circular letter request- 

 ing many teachers to name about ten books which they find most 

 useful. More such selected lists are wanted before compiling the 

 letters, and readers are urged to send their own preferred lists of books 

 as soon as possible. 



SUMMER SCHOOLS 

 For the April number we want information concerning special 

 courses for teachers of nature-study to be given in colleges and normal 

 schools next summer. 



A CORRECTION 



The topic " Physical Nature-Study" on page 183 of Dr. Fair- 

 bank's paper in the September, 1905, issue should be placed under 

 sixth grade.
