NEWS NOTES 



Nature-Study in the Public Schools of Tennessee. Beginning 

 with September, elementary nature-study will be introduced into the public 

 schools of Tennessee throughout the entire state, under the direction of 

 Supt. S. A. Mynders. Bulletins of information and instruction will be fur- 

 nished to the teachers sufficient to supply all pupils free of charge. The 

 work will begin with a study of the nature and cultivation of our common 

 plants and will be extended and developed from year to year. The Septem- 

 ber number of the Progressive Teacher ( Nashville j will give a full outline 

 of the work as planned by Supt. Mynders, together with instructions for 

 teachers.

 into many schools this year. The educators in charge of the work have 

 wisely decided to make the introduction gradual as teachers are able to do the 

 work well.
