"Dignity and Impudence," Briton's "Song of the Lark," aiid 

 others. His latest interest is in fossils. Of these he has re- 

 cently made a collection from a near-by fossil bed and was quite 

 interested when the writer told him of some fossil forms which 

 are to be had in this community but which he did not have in his 

 collection. 



Jerry is not exclusively partial to the stuffed and preserved 

 specimens. He was an active and interested member of the 



Terry and his Museum. 



"Boys, and Girls, Garden Club" during the summer just past 

 and since outdoor gardening has become impossible he has been 

 expressing his interest in that line of Nature-Studv bv growing 

 bulbs indoors. That he has been successful in this work was 

 evidenced by a Christmas remembrance in the form of a beau- 

 tiful white narcissus, in bloom, which he saw fit to send to the 

 writer's home. He also has a part responsibilitv for the care of 

 a pair of white rabbits, a white Spitzer dog, Woodrow, and a 

 Boston terrier, Mieheal O'Halloran by name, which has come 

 into his list of play-fellows within the last eight months. 



Jerry's activities have become contagious in the community. 

 Other boys of his age are beginning collections of their own.
