THE GUIDE TO NATURE. 



UNIVERSITY SCHOOL GARDENS. 



work in the three large children's gar- 

 dens which are within easy reach of the 

 University, where they will have an op- 

 portunity to see from 300 to 500 little 

 folks actively at work. 



AID NATURE STUDY TEACHERS. 



The laboratory work and study of in- 

 sects and soil will, it is believed, aid 

 the teacher of nature study materially by 



showing her how to teach these subjects 

 in a practical way leading to practical re- 

 sults rather than through abstract lessons 

 which the child has no way of putting 

 into practice. For the real object of a 

 children's garden is not only to give the 

 little workers outdoor exercise and to en- 

 able them to raise eatable vegetables or 



fine flowers, but it is also to 



give 



them 



THE OUT-OF DOORS CLASS ROOM. 

 Any one could study under these conditions.
