This course of Nature Study may be pursued with profit to teacher 

 and pupil in any one of the first four years of school life, and in any 

 school however poorly equipped. 



It is planned chiefly to meet the needs of the ordinary grade teacher 

 in the public schools and does not presuppose special training on her 

 part nor special facilities for the collection of material. It does, how- 

 ever, take for granted a strong desire on the teacher's part to do this 

 work, a lively belief in its efficacy, and an earnest effort to become 

 better acquainted with the familiar, yet to most of us unknown face of 

 nature. 



Prof. W. L. Poteat, Wake Forest College, North Carolina. 



" Mrs. Wilson's ' Nature Study' impresses me as a very timely and a 

 very sensible book. Any live teacher must be grateful for its suggestive 

 helpfulness. I shall take pleasure in recommending it for the course of 

 reading prepared for the public school teachers of this State." 



Dr. R. K. Buehrle, Superintendent, Lancaster, Pa. 



" Mrs. Wilson's little manual affords excellent assistance to those who 

 mean to equip themselves for the best kind of work. It is a good book 

 for every teacher to have and to study when preparing to give lessons 

 in Nature Study." 



Charlotte E. Reeve, State Normal School, New Paltz, N. Y. 



" I am exceedingly well pleased with the book. The subject of 

 Nature Study is so comprehensive that I think most teachers feel dis- 

 couraged at the thought of it. The Wilson manual presents such 

 carefully selected subject-matter that the teaching of it becomes a 

 delight rather than an added burden. I shall endeavor to make our 

 pupil teachers feel that it is one of the books they must own."
