A Short Course in Nature-Study 



Conducted by Frank C. Pellett 



is just the thing for teacher's institutes, summer schools 

 and chautauquas. Includes the study of birds, butter- 

 flies, moths, bees and other insects as well as higher 

 animals, plants, etc. Methods of propagation of plants 

 are demonstrated. The students are taught budding, 

 grafting, layering. Mr. Pellett is not a school man but 

 a naturalist who spends his time in the woods and 

 fields when not on the lecture platform. 



A Live Bee Demonstration 



Mr. Pellett has a large cage of wire screen in which he 

 opens a bee hive and while delivering his lecture on 

 "Bees" illustrates it with the bees themselves. With- 

 out veil or gloves he handles bees by handfuls as if they 

 had no stings. 



"I am glad to say that I had the pleasure of hearing Frank C. 

 Pellett, of Atlantic, Iowa, in two very helpful and interesting 

 addresses. He entertains and instructs. His demonstration 

 as to the proper handling of bees is unique and surprisingly 

 successful. 1 shall not hesitate to recommend him for any in- 

 stitute or lecture courses in which I am personally interested. 

 Prof. F. E. King, Supt. City Schools, Ames, Iowa 



An Unusual Lecture 



In the lecture ''Economy of Nature in the Plan of Eden" 

 Mr. Pellett has brought together an array of facts 

 of surpassing interest to the student of nature, and has 

 succeeded in attracting the attention and interest of a 

 large class who do not attend the ordinary nature 

 lectures. F'or a single entertainment you will find it 

 admirable. 



"The lecture by Frank C. Pellett at the M. E. Church South, 

 Friday evening, was an excellent one. Mr. Pellett is a natur- 

 alist o'f rare ability, and his lecture, "The Plan of Eden," is 

 very interesting and instructive.
