4 THE NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [6:i-Jan., mo 



PLANS FOR 1 9 10 



Owing to the transfer of the headquarters of the Review, 

 the appearance of the January number has been unavoidably 

 delayed. It will be followed shortly by the February number, 

 and subsequent issues may be expected to appear early in the 

 month for which they are dated. 



As the official organ of the A. N.-S. S. this journal should 

 not only contribute to the shaping of ideals, but should take the 

 lead among those agencies which are endeavoring to organize 

 the materials of science for the purposes of elementary educa- 

 tion. To this end, it will undertake to make every issue im- 

 mediately helpful to teachers through the presentation of con- 

 crete illustrations of approved nature-study lessons. 



Each number for 1910 will be devoted to some particular 

 subject of general interest, thus assuming the form of a teach- 

 ing monograph on that subject. Each issue will make its in- 

 dividual appeal to some special group of workers, and at the 

 same time the series will be valuable in its entirety to all edu- 

 cators. 



The numbers now tentatively planned are as follows: Jan- 

 uary, PHYSICAL SCIENCE; February, HYGIENE; March, 

 BIRD STUDY; April, GARDEN NUMBER; May, AGRI- 

 CULTURAL EDUCATION( or RURAL SCHOOL NUM- 

 BER); September, INSECT STUDY; October, COURSE OF 

 STUDY; November, HARVEST STUDIES; December, 

 WEATHER STUDIES. 



While each issue will thus assume a distinctive character, 

 other features will not be neglected. There will be occasional 

 discussions of a more general nature, nature-study news will be 

 followed and current literature reviewed. 



The plan as above outlined has met with the approval of 

 those to whom it has been presented. We shall not be satis- 

 fied until the Nature-Study Review is recognized as an essen- 

 tial in the material equipment of every live and progressive 

 teacher of children. 



The annual membership fee in the A. N.-S. S. is one dol- 

 lar, which sum includes the subscription to the Nature-Study 

 Review for one year. Contributed articles and business com- 

 munications should be addressed to
