Cleveland 



The Museum of Natural History has issued the first of a series of popular 

 interpretations of nature entitled "Trees of Ohio," by Harold L. Madison 

 curator of Education. This is called "Pocket Nature History No.i, Botanic- 

 al Series No.i." It may be obtained for 15 cents by application to the museum, 

 and is certainly a most satisfactory little book. It may be carried in the 

 pocket or in a notebook. 



We shall all be debtors to the museum if ic publishes these popular guides, 

 according to its announced plan of issuing two numbers in each science each 

 year, including the guides and the "intimate stories" of the sciences. 

 Toledo 



The first field trip of the year for the Toledo Nature Study Club was held 

 on March 5 on the Boy Scout Reservation ten miles from the city. Seventy 

 persons were in attendance and enjoyed the observation of winter birds at 

 the feeding stations, a hike thru the extensive woods of this camp-site, and 

 a "bully" hunter's stew supper cooked by the Gimogash troop of Toledo Boy 

 Scouts. The trip was under the direction of Prof. M. R. Van Cleve, supervisor 

 of nature study in the Toledo schools and field director of the club. The 

 Toledo club is one of the most active in the country, having a loyal mem- 

 bership of one hundred and fifty. 



YOUNGSTOWN 



The Youngstown, Ohio branch of the American Nature Study Society was 

 organized on March 25, 1922 with the remarkable initial membership of 

 seventy-five. This large gathering was largely due to the interest and initiative 

 of Miss Elizabeth Northrup, teacher of science in the Grant Junior High School, 

 now secretary of the organization. Supt. of schools Mr. O. L. Reid was elected 

 president. Supt. Reid is strongly in favor of instruction in nature-study for 

 school children and established such a department in the school of Louisville, 

 Kentucky when he was city supt. of schools in that city. An influential member 

 of this new club is Mr. George L. Fordyce a prominent business man of Youngs- 

 town and one of the best known ornithologists in the state. 



The Youngstown area is in one' of the best migration routes in Ohio. This 

 fact and the fact that it is an interesting geological region, give promise of 

 the functioning in Youngstown of one of the most active and useful nature 

 clubs in the country.
