EDITORIAL NOTES 



To avoid possible serious delay incident to the removal of the 

 printing firm to larger quarters, the January number has been 

 issued earlier than had been anticipated. Publication of the 

 Index to Volume VI is therefore postponed until the February 

 number. We regret that it has also been impossible to await 

 receipt of copy from some of our advertisers. 



The paper by Principal W. J. Stevens, in this number, is 

 but an index of the general interest recently manifested in nature- 

 study in the city of St. Louis. In the preceding (December) 

 issue appeared a contribution from Principal Lewis M. Dougan, 

 in the form of a clear cut statement of what his school had 

 accomplished on absolutely barren grounds in one year. Practical 

 work of this character may be done by city schools whose prin- 

 ciples are prepared to guide teachers and pupils to sane and suc- 

 cessful endeavor. Boards of Education and administrative 

 officers who allow educative opportunities to be lost by turning 

 over such activities to hired help may learn much from examples 

 like this. 



Full account of the annual meeting of the American Nature- 

 Study Society at Minneapolis, December 30, including the elec- 

 tion of officers for 191 1, will be published in the February num- 

 ber.
