News and Notes 



The bird plate used as an insert in this issue, is a sample taken 

 from the Bird Note Books prepared by Anna Botsford Comstock. 

 They are extensively used in rural, city and normal schools, in 

 training schools, in colleges and in nature-study classes. 



The summer camp of the Georgia State Forest School, located 

 on the Ocoee River near Blue Ridge, Ga., will the coming season 

 be open to visiting teachers and lovers of nature. The location is 

 an ideal one for a summer outing for a naturalist. It combines 

 beautiful scenery amid fine mountain forests, with opportunity 

 for recreation in the midst of a very great richness of both plant 

 and animal life. 



Professor J. B. Berry of Athens, Ga., is in charge 



We have always maintained that if we could read a person's 

 notebook we should know the character — and tastes of the 

 writer. Judged by this criterion Professor D. S. Hartline is a 

 lover of nature and of literature. His outline for field notes 

 includes The Heavens, The Weather, Mountains and Lakes and 

 River, Plant Life, and Animal Life. Each of these divisions is 

 marked by a special colored card in his loose-leaf "Seehear write" 

 guide to taking notes in nature study; and under each division 

 there are scientific subdivisions, and also apt quotations from 

 standard poets and nature writers. 



It is really an index to notes and enclosed in a neat cloth covered 

 case roomy enough to include many extra pages of notes, and small 

 enough to go into a pocket. 



It is published by George E. Elwell & Son, Bloomsburg, Penn.
