 Science 



Y^ URING the forthcoming SUMMER QUARTER of the UNIVERSITY 

 TJ y of CHICAGO, the department of Natural Science of the School of 

 Education offers several courses designed especially for teachers. For 

 grade teachers there are introductory courses (1 and 2) which present respective-

 aspects of physics and chemistry as they may be used in the grades; and for 

 special teachers of nature-study and supervisors there is a seminar course 

 (7) which considers the principles, purposes, methods of organization and 

 presentation of the different phases of the course in nature-study in the 

 schools. 'J'here is an elementary course in botany (1 Dept. of Botany;, a 

 course (21) specially designed for those who teach botany in the secondary 

 schools and a similar course in zoology. A course (24) in biological evolution 

 is given for students in education who desire first-hand contact with some of 

 the illustrative materials and with the literature of modern theories of evolu- 

 tion. Laboratory, field, museum, and library are arranged with special refer- 

 ence to the most effective work of students in the above courses.

TREES IN WINTER 



THEIR STUDY, PLANTING, CARE AND IDENTIFICATION 



Cloth, 12 mo. 446 pp., 112 full page plates, 103 text illustrations 



by 



Albert F. Blakeslee 



Professor of Botany and Director of Summer School at the Con- 

 necticut Agricultural College. 



and 



Chester D. Jarvis 



Horticulturalist of the Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station. 



The book by the aid of keys, descriptive text and photographic 

 illustrations of habit, bark, twigs, and fruit gives a ready means of be- 

 coming familiar with all the common trees, both wild and cultivated, in 

 northeastern America. Chapters on the methods of tree study and on the 

 life and growth of trees will add to the value of the book for use in 

 schools. The book also gives information in regard to the kinds of 

 trees to select for different purposes, where to locate them, when and how 

 to plant them, how to take care of and protect therr. from insects, fungus 

 and other injuries. Winter, as the authors use the terfn, is that period 

 when the tree is in its resting condition and the general rule is brought 

 out that the buying, planting and care of trees should take place only dur- 

 ing this resting period.
