A Request 



There are a number of Nature Organizations, Societies connect- 

 ed v^ith Study Clubs, Women Clubs, etc., whose object is to learn 

 more of the out-of-doors. Many of these are not in touch with any 

 National Society like our American Nature-Study Society that

 literature we have available may be gratuitously sent them. If 

 you know of any such organization. Nature Clubs, Hike Clubs,

 will be gratefully received. Please write at once. Postage will 

 be refunded you.
