It Turns Over an Important "New Leaf" 



Beginning with the January Number 



The Guide to Nature 



SEVERAL NEW FEATURES 



"Birds in the Bush." a department edited by Edmund J. Sawyer, with 

 illustrations from original drawings by this talented artist-ornithologist 



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

 ward F. 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 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.
