NATURE STUDY REVIEW [10:5— May, 1914 



There were several collections of mounted insects, a few of 

 them remarkably large for a rural school. There were also pencil 

 drawings of butterflies, which were very good indeed. From an 

 economic standpoint, one exhibit was truly remarkable. It 

 consisted of a box containing 12,000 egg-masses of the apple-tree 

 tent-caterpillar collected by the pupils of one rural school. 



There were several exhibits of textiles. The picture shows the

best of these, which was a remarkably complete wool collection. 

 There were several sets of drawings of cattle, which were very 

 good, and were accompanied by essays upon the stock. 



There was only one collection of pebbles and stones. There 

 were several collections of water color drawings of flowers and also 

 of landscapes which were original and interesting. There were 

 two good relief maps, one of the United States, and one very 

 remarkable map of New York State. 



A very well constructed terrarium was sent by one school, made 

 entirely by the children. It had a frame of wood and sides of 

 glass and cover of wire netting.
