Fall Workshops for Members' Children 



A series of Saturday morning workshops for the children and grandchildren of Museum Members will be held 

 for the fifth consecutive year by the Raymond Foundation this fall. Youngsters will meet Museum staff members 

 and work with specimens and materials from scientific collections. The small group workshops, geared to dif- 

 ferent age levels, are planned to stimulate and develop interest in the study of the natural sciences. The programs 

 for younger children last about an hour, those for older children about an hour and a half. Extra time should 

 be allowed if children plan to bring specimens for identification. 



Reservations arc necessary and an application is included in this issue of the Bulletin. Since it may not be pos- 

 sible to accommodate all applicants, we urge that applications be sent in early. Each applicant will be scheduled 

 into one program only and reservations will be accepted in the order they are received. Applicants accepted 

 will receive a confirmation card which will serve as his or her admission to the workshop.

Indians of Woodlands and Plains

Indian tribes have developed ways of life adapted to their 

 environment and have also shown great skill in utilizing 

 natural materials to suit man's purposes. In this work- 

 shop, youngsters will handle various naturally-occurring 

 raw materials and see how the Indians used them in making 

 tools, weapons and household equipment. Movies showing 

 the variations of Indian Life in the woodlands and on the 

 western plains will also be shown.
