NATURE LORE SCHOOL FOR NATURE COUNCILORS 159 



THE PLACE: Camp Chequesset. Wellfleet, Massachusetts. 

 Down on Cape Cod. Cape Cod has long been known as the 

 meeting place of northern and southern plants and animals. 

 The mountain plants venture into its cold bogs. Here one 

 may learn how to interpret lake shores and shifting dunes; 

 glacial deposits and primitive peat. Agassiz recognized the 

 Cape as cosmopolitan nature when he established his summer 

 school on Penikese. Thoreau walked the whole length of the 

 Cape and reveled in its natural wonders. Cape Cod is still 

 unspoiled by man and again comes the call to study nature 

 on its rugged shores.

 nautical wheel just before crossing the railroad track into
