 teachers may interest children in nature-study. The ultimate object

 The teacher will also find nature-study to be directly valuable as a 

 means of education, or training the mind of the child. We want 

 your full co-operation and your unreserved criticism. Any com- 

 munication which you may send to us will receive prompt and 

 direct attention :
