■' Birds in the Bush." a department edited by ICdmund .1. Sawyer, with 

 illustrations from original drawings by this talented artist-ornithologist 



"The Fun of Seeins; Things." a department for young folks, edited by Ed- 

 ward E. Bigelow. succeeding his well-known work as editor of the"Nature 

 Science" department of "St. Nicholas" for more than fourteen years. 



This department will be really new. It will not be " schooly." not " nature 



study." not to induce parents and educators to say. " It is good for the chii 



dren." but it will appeal directly to the young folks themselves, and will help 



them to enjoy natural objects that surround them. It will be true to its name.
