1 4th MEETING OF THE NATURE-STUDY SOCIETY 85 



followed by a talk by Professor Lewis M. Dougan, giving valuable 

 suggestions as to supplementary reading. The next on the program 

 was the editor of The Review with her pet theories of the ways 

 that Nature-Study and Geography should be partners in the school 

 room as well as in the world. Then came a talk by Professor B. G. 

 Shackelford on the relation of Nature-Study to elementary science 

 in which he stated clearly his belief that Nature-Study should have 

 for its aim making the child love Nature rather than the mastering 

 of scientific facts. After this came a very delightful talk by James 

 Newton Baskett who is the veteran leader in the right way to study 

 birds and fishes. It was one of the greatest privileges of the meet- 

 ing to hear Dr. Baskett speak. The very profitable meeting ended 

 at five o'clock with the report on the fortunes of The Nature- 

 Study Review by the Editor. There were about fifty people 

 present including Professor and Mrs. T. D. Cockerell of Colorado 

 College, and Mr. Johnson of the Colorado Normal, and even Pro- 

 fessor Vernon L. Kellogg, known so widely through his work in 

 Belgium with Mr. Hoover and as author of " Headquarters Nights" 

 gave us a little of his valuable time.
