helps to make people love the work ol 

 nature but helps them improve their 

 minds, helps them to study her as 

 much as possible. I hey have plants 

 of different sorts for the people to 

 stud} about them, [f some people only 

 knew what good nature studying is I 

 believe that there would be more study 

 places for studying nature. Then peo- 

 ple would be improving their minds 

 much more tiian only thinking where 

 the next dollar was coming from.

Arcadia is a place where we study 

 what nature has done for us. To peo- 

 ple who do not care for plants and 

 flowers they do not look nice to them. 

 Every bird they see they think how 

 troublesome they are making nests 

 about in the trees and bushes, and 

 singing" in the morning disturbs them. 

 Some people wish that there were not 

 any trees, and some people that do not

Arcadia teaches us to look out in the 

 world and see the beauty in nature and 

 the things which appear to be dead 

 liven up. The sick birds we happen to
