How The Landscape and Cut-out Pictures May he Used. 



This section is designed prim.arily for use by the children of 

 the lower grades. They m.ay need some assistance in prepar- 

 ation from the older pupils but they seem to be helped m.ore by 

 this section than by any other except possibly the story section. 

 The landscapes are designed to help teach the children to recog- 

 nize various forms of living things and to know where these forms 

 are most commonly found. A sandpiper is a part of our con- 

 cept of the shore of a waterway and a bat a part of the sky at 

 dusk. The placing of the pictures of these creatures in the proper 

 place on the paper landscape helps fix the observations which 

 the children may have m.ade out of doors. It fixes them, in a 

 m.anner different from what results from m.erely the spoken 

 word. 



To make a landscape the following suggestions m.ay prove 

 useful. 



1. Remove the parts of the landscape from the back of this 

 number being careful not to tear the m.ore or less brittle paper 

 on which they are printed. 



2. Trim off the right hand m.argins of all sections except 

 those which will make the right hand part of the landscape. 



3. Paste the proper sections to their right hand neighbors 

 using the untrimm.ed left hand m.argins as a region of attachment. 



4. Trim off the low^er margin of the pasted upper section and 

 paste these sections to the untrimm.ed upper margin of the lower 

 sections. 



5. Paste the whole landscape sm.oothly to S9m.e good tough 

 wrapping paper. 



6. Cut a number of horizontal half inch slits through the 

 landscape and paper in various parts of the landscajjc. 



7. Color with wax crayons or water colors. 



8. Mount the whole landscape on a good stiff card ])asting 

 it down around the border only. This leaves an unpasted area 

 between the card board and the wrapping jjaper.
