THE LANDSCAPE BEAUTIFUL 



Moreover, every child ought to learn to see 

 the beautiful things in the world. Unfor- 

 tunately, many children see only the pictures 

 in the Sunday papers. The following ex- 

 ercises all call attention to things which are 

 beautiful and call for some judgment on them. 



METHOD 



At least one exercise each week should be 

 given from the following program. The 

 exercise should be posted on the blackboard, 

 and suggestions given by the teacher. On the 

 following day reports should be made by 

 pupils and discussed in the schoolroom. On 

 the next day pupils should enter the results in 

 their permanent note-books. Pictures should 

 be included wherever practicable. Thus, at 

 the end of the term, each pupil will have a 

 note-book entitled "Beautiful Amherst," which 

 would be of considerable value. 



PROGRAM 



1. TREES 



Where is the most beautiful tree in Amherst? 

 What kind of a tree is it? How old? Who 

 planted it? Give any other information. 

 Where is the most beautiful row or group of 

 trees in Amherst? Also the most beautiful 

 piece of woods? 



2. BROOKS 



Make a sketch map of the town of Amherst, 

 locating and naming all the streams, including 

 the smallest brooks, as far as possible. Where 

 is the prettiest stream in Amherst? Why is it 

 the prettiest?
