No. 2 



November woods are bare and still ; 

 November daj-s are clear and bright ; 

 Each noon burns up the morning's chill ; 

 The morning's snow is gone by night. 

 Each day my steps grow slow, grow light, 

 As through the woods I reverent creep, 

 Watching all things lie " down to sleep." 



— Helen Hunt Jackson. 



FOR HOME AND SCHOOL 



Home is the best place in the 

 world, and the more attractive 

 and cheery it is the better we 

 enjoy being in it. Boys and girls 

 can do a great deal to make at- 

 tractive homes. This year we are 

 planning to publish each month 

 in the Junior Naturalist 

 Monthly simple suggestions for 

 giving a clean, bright touch to 

 the home and school. We are 

 sure that many girls and boys 

 will be able also to give sugges- 

 tions along these lines that will 

 be worth the while, li so, we 

 shall publish them from time to 

 time. Occasionally you may be 

 able to send us a photograph to 

 illustrate your idea. 



Not long ago I was associated 

 with some young persons in a summer school. They were active natural- 

 ists and knew how to enjoy the out-of-doors. These yottng folk had 

 been taught to protect the things of beauty in the woods and along the 

 wayside, and did not gather them in large quantities ; but on one occasion 

 a little girl, in passing through a deep wood, found a small colony of 

 Indian pipes. She did not know what they were and brought them into

Fig. I. — Indian pipes. The dish in whicJi 

 the Indian pipes are placed was modeled 

 by school children.
