A TIMELY SUGGESTION 



In the Summer School of Science that is held during July, at Yarmouth, 

 Nova Scotia, there are fifty-eight scholarships offered for competition, which 

 shows, to quote 'The Educational Review,' that "a practical and very whole- 

 some interest is being taken in the school by its friends." 



It is quite common, nowadays, for the lay public to interest itself in edu- 

 cational matters, either individually or through clubs and other organizations. 

 There is no end to the scholarships that have been established in colleges and 

 universities, but very few have, as yet, been placed in summer schools. 



Now that our common schools stand in so great need of practically trained 

 teachers of nature-study, what better way could there be to meet this need, and 

 what more desirable task could Audubon Societies undertake than to found 

 some scholarships in summer schools, where nature is studied in the open, 

 for teachers who would like the opportunity for study in such schools, but who 

 cannot meet the entire expense of tuition, board and carfare?
