school. : 
Personal Activities 
As during the past three years, I have acted as editor of The 
National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild Magazine. The course 
in nature study at the Froebel League, New York City, has been 
under my supervision. A course of five lectures in gardening 
was given at the Froebel League in March and April. This 
course was given so that the parents’ organizations and mothers’ 
clubs in that school might have a course under the patronage of 
Froebel League.

both our maps and plates. 
Attention may also be called to the case of shelves set apart 
for “Recent Accessions,” which has proved of practical value 
to the staff. Heretofore, publications newly acquired were, as
