THE 



NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



Vol. 13 



January, 1917 



No. 1 



To the Nature-Teachers, 

 Greeting : 

 The new year is before 

 us, and the year is always 

 young. It is our privilege 

 to maintain interest in 

 life, and to impart this 

 interest to those whom we 

 teach. I hope that the 

 year will seem good to 

 you. 



L. H. Bailey. 



SONG 

 Charles De Kay 



The winter woods, the 



winter woods, 

 They bevel best with all 

 our moods. 

 With hardihood and 

 wild despair. 

 With tender love and 



joyousness: 

 The crimes of cities they 

 redress. 

 And broken faiths re- 

 pair. 



The winter woods, the 



winter woods 

 Are better far than house 

 and goods. 

 Than food and raiment 

 better far, 

 Than gilded walls and 



canopies : 

 They break but do not 

 stop the breeze. 

 And never hide a star.
