Morris Elmer Dailey, President State 

 Normal School. 



SAN JOSE, CAL. 



Dr. Edward F. Bigelow delivered a 

 Lecture on Nature Study before the 

 students of this Normal School. It was 

 an exceedingly entertaining and instruc- 

 tive lecture. Our students enjoyed it 

 very much. 



Athens County Teachers' Institute. 



LULU LANE, SECRETARY, NELSONVILLE, 

 OHIO. 



Dr. Bigelow's lectures were an in- 

 spiration to the teachers of Athens 

 County. By his able instruction an 

 interest in Nature Study such as we 

 have not before known has been awak- 

 ened. Our teachers were delighted 

 with his work. 



W. A. Beane, County Superintendent 

 of Schools. 



ALBION, INDIANA. 



Dr. Edward F. Bigelow delivered ten 

 lectures at our county teachers' insti- 

 tute on the subject of Nature Study. He 

 is full of his subject and is a very forci- 

 ble speaker. His work is inspirational 

 and grows in interest as he proceeds in 

 the series of lectures. His work has 

 left results. Our pupils are doing some 

 real nature studv. 



Fredericksburg Summer Institute. 



FREDERICKSBURG, VA . 

 ALGERNON B. CHANDLER, JR., M. A. RICH- 

 MOND, VIRGINIA CONDUCTOR. 



I am writing to express to you in a 

 more personal way than I had time 

 and opportunity to do while you were 

 with us my pleasure in your work here. 

 You were, beyond doubt, the best 

 drawing card the school had. Your 

 lectures were broad-gauged and inspir- 

 ing and they were most enthusiasti- 

 cally and appreciatively received, not 

 only by the students of the Fredericks- 

 burg State Summer Institute but by 

 the very large number of townspeople 

 who were fortunate enough to hear 

 you. 



Athens Public School. 



B. O. SKINNER, SUPERINTENDENT, ATHENS, 

 OHIO. 



Doctor Edward F. Bigelow was an 

 instructor at the Athens County 

 Teacher's Institute of 1909. His 

 method of presenting Nature Study 

 was unique and interesting and at the 

 same time highly valuable. He has 

 given an impetus to the work in the 

 county which I believe it has not had 

 before and in my opinion his influence 

 will be felt in years to come. It gives 

 me great pleasure to commend his work 

 in the highest terms. 



S. S. Willard, Superintendent of County 

 Schools, Perry County. 



NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA. 



Dr. Edward F. Bigelow was one of 

 the instructors at our Teachers' Insit- 

 tute. Physically strong and virile, earn- 

 est, forceful, enthusiastic, and withal 

 entertaining, Dr. Bigelow-, at once, se- 

 cured and held the deep interest and 

 close attention of his audience. Each 

 period occupied by him was awaited 

 with pleasure, and I am sure he in- 

 spired in many of his hearers a new and 

 permanent desire to investigate more 

 closely the secrets of Nature, and util- 

 ize her teachings in the practical work 

 of the schools. 



Woburn Woman's Club. 



ALICE BOND WINN, PRESIDENT. 



Dr. Bigelow gave his lecture on "The 

 Child and Nature" before the Woburn 

 Woman's Club. From the first sen- 

 tence he held the close attention of his 

 audience. The address was fresh, vig- 

 orous, inspiring. Personal contact with 

 Dr. Bigelow is. in itself a pleasure and 

 inspiration. He directs thought, in a 

 delightful way all his own, always, to- 

 ward the high and good, the great and 

 true especially as revealed through the 

 wonders and beauties of nature. 



We would recommend Dr. Bigelow 

 as a lecturer to all clubs who desire a 

 delightful program quite out of the 

 ordinary.
