OCTOBER 79 



All of them agree in the fact that they are fruits, and 

 that the seed within is carefully protected ; all have 

 wings. What good is this to the seed ? What other 

 fruits are distributed by the wind ? 



At the conclusion of these lessons the children should 

 be given an oral language lesson, to crystallize the gen- 

 eral ideas which they have obtained of the many ways 

 by which plants protect and distribute their seeds.
