ft Turns Over an Important "New Leaf" 



Beginning with the January Number 



The Guide to Nature 



SEVERAL NEW FEATURES 



"Birds in the Hush." a department edited by Edmund I, Sawyer, with 

 illustrations from original drawings by this talented artist-ornitholo^'ist 



" rhe Fun of Seein.i Things." a depariment for young folks, edited by Ed- 

 ward F Bigelow. succeeding his well-known w'ork 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 chil- 

 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.
