NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [14:5— May, 1918 



more mental effort than the Audubon Society outlines intended 

 for little children. The Audubon pictures, however, with their 

 excellent backgrounds, serve as very good models and are more 

 easily handled than pictures found in books. 



This sketch would hardly be complete if mention were not made 

 of another use that may be made of these plates, that of using 

 them after coloring for cut-out work of various sorts. The cut- 

 outs may be mounted in book form or pinned to the top rail of 

 the blackboard. They may be stuck on various parts of a tree 

 drawn in colors on the blackboard. By providing pasteboard 

 backing and little flaps for insertion in slits, they may be perched 

 on the trunk, branches or in the green foliage of trees drawn on 

 large sheets of heavy paper. The tree itself may be part of the 

 regular tree work of the nature-study. 



Three Wild Plants Needing Protection 



Three reprints of articles by Miss Britton published in the Journal of the 

 New York Botanical Garden have been received. These three flowers are the 

 fringed gentian, the liver-leaf or hepatica and the bloodroot. Each is exqui- 

 sitely illustrated in color and Mrs. Britton befriends us all when she befriends 

 these flowers. We should all h elp preserve them and keep them safe for the 

 sake of future generations.
