Home Nature-Study Course, 95 



and has sent 1,000 letters and 3,000 postals to teachers, and 100 postals 

 to the training class teachers. It has sent the following leaflets : 



October-November • • 397^ 



December-January 4447 



February-March 475^ 



April-May 475° 



All of the leaflets of the last two issues were sent except the 250 reserved 

 in the files. The department was unable to meet the demands for these 

 leaflets, and was obliged to send only one leaflet for two pupils in many 

 of the training classes. Although the leaflets have not demanded that 

 lessons be sent in return, the writers have received during the year 660 

 lessons, which were sent voluntarily by the recipients of the leaflets. 



For the future of this work, it is earnestly recommended that the 

 leaflets dealing with the subject-matter of the State Syllabus of Nature- 

 study be published in book form sometime during the year 1909-10. This 

 seems the only way. of meeting the special need of the teachers of the 

 State, since our own appropriations are not sufficient to keep these leaflets 

 on hand in sufficient numbers to supply the demand.
