158 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



bird banding and tell how to organize such a society at camp. 

 Mr. Forbush is president of the New England Bird Banding 

 Association and the work is to be under the Biological Survey 

 at Washington. Records and m.aterial will be furnished camps 

 free. Fifty bird houses have been ordered from the May 

 Bros., Cohasset, Mass., for this work at Camp Chequesset. 

 Delia I. Griffin, ''The Camp Museum,'' not a store house for dusty 

 relics where moths and thieves break in and steal but a live 

 working cam.p museum. Miss Griffin got her love for nature 

 in Verm.ont. She is curator of the Children's Museum of 

 Boston. Ever}^ councilor will be given guided experience in 

 this important art. This m_ay be a connecting link with our 

 exhibition for next year. 



Manley Bacon Townsend, ''Sunday Night Talks Out of the Environ- 

 ment. ' ' Mr. Townsend has a boy scout troop. He is a lecturer 

 of note. He was formerly Secretary of the Audubon Society 

 of New Hampshire. Before we say that he is a clergyman 

 let us add that he is genial, optimistic, has a hearty manner, 

 is scientific, and believes in the great out-of-doors. He 

 does not scold or sermonize but talks like a man to men. Ask 

 the 1920 m.em.bers of the nature school about him. They know. 



Dr. Henry P. Lovewell, "Medicinal Plants.'' Dr. Lovewell is a 

 practicing physician. He also has a hobby of collecting 

 medicinal plants. He will show us how a nature councilor 

 can be a * 'first aider." Then we'll go out and collect aromatic 

 herbs for the camp attic — ^just as our great grandmothers did 

 in days of yore. Let's revive the custom just for fun. And 

 the campers will just enjoy it. 



William Gould Vinal, "Nature Games, and the Camp Notebook." 

 Professor of Nature-study at the Rhode Island College of 

 Education. Believes that the Nature-lore School is a great 

 institution for inspiration in nature-study. Believes that 

 every cam.p should base its activities upon its own environment. 

 Believes that good nature councilors are rare. Believes that 

 all nature councilors should be given an opportunity to meet 

 the best leaders in the field of nature that they may carry over 

 the inspiration to the young people of America. Believes that 

 the camp is an educational institution.
