CLUB InTOTES. 



We must have a yell for the Junior Katuralist Clubs. What 

 shall it be ? We shall be very glad if each of you send us some- 

 thing for that purpose, and we will make a selection. Let it be 

 something the girls can yell as well as the boys.

The new school year brings a change of teachers to our Junior 

 Naturalist Clubs of last spring. Our plan is to have clubs that 

 organized last spring retain their charters and reorganize under the 

 new teacher. Some of the former members may drop out, but we 

 hope new members will take their places. 



Our club buttons are now ready for distribution and will be sent 

 to each of our old members as soon as their clubs reorganize under 

 their new teachers, and to members of our new clubs as soon as they 

 sliow an interest by paying the fortnightly dues.

Whenever your Uncle meets in public a boy or girl wearing a 

 Junior Katuralist Club button, he will speak to the wearer without 

 any formality ; and he thinks it a good plan if members will do the 

 same thing. Let us feel that we belong to the same fraternity and 

 all have the same interest in nature, and we will be friends to each 

 other. He wishes to encourage a feeling of friendship among mem- 

 bers of different clubs. When convenient, it will bring good results 

 for one club to visit another, and the host club can show the guest 

 club what it is doing in the study of nature. 



Your Uncle is always glad to receive your photographs either in 

 groups or singly. He has a number on hand now and will welcome 

 more. 'Next to meeting you boys and girls is the sight of your 

 shadows, for that is what a photograph means.
