THE 



NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



DEVOTED TO ALL PHASES OF NATURE-STUDY IN SCHOOLS 



Vol. 4 OCTOBER, 1908 No. 7 



NEW JERSEY NUMBER 



[Managing Editor's Note. — The papers for this number 

 have been collected and arranged by Mr. Gilbert H. Trafton, 

 Supervisor of Nature-Study at Passaic, N. J., and one of the 

 1908 Directors of the American Nature-Study Society. As in 

 the case of all other special numbers of The Review, the manag- 

 ing Editor has simply taken charge of the mere mechanical 

 editing necessary to secure uniformity in printing the series of 

 special numbers." 



The following paragraph from a personal letter from Mr. 

 Trafton well states the editorial policy for this number of The 

 Review: 



"I have endeavored to make this issue a record of actual 

 performance, a discussion of work actually being done, believing 

 that these kinds of records will be of value to other teachers as 

 suggestive of what may be done and of value to all interested in 

 nature-study in any capacity, as a means of orientation and as 

 furnishing opportunity for intelligent criticism, that the work 

 that is worth while may be encouraged, and that which is worth- 

 less condemned.]
