THE, NATURE CLUB 



OF AMERICA 



OR several months we have been studying out a plan 

 by which we could be of assistance to the many thou- 

 sands of people who already own THE NATURE 

 LIBRARY and also to those who may own it in the 

 future. We think that community clubs for study of this 

 kind might be productive of great good. To have the simple 

 things in Nature brought vividly before the people in a familiar 

 and practicable way is bound to stimulate appreciation and in- 

 terest. They will find themselves, no doubt, eagerly taking 

 advantage of every opportunity to get out into the open and see 

 with their own eyes the wonderful things opened up by these 

 books. Many of us going afield on vacation trips, or to idle 

 away a summer day, have eyes, but we see not. THE NATURE 

 LIBRARY is intended to open the eyes, and "The Nature Club 

 of America " will aid very effectively in doing this. The school 

 is the centre of every community. Nature Study forms a part 

 of the course of study of the best schools all over the land. 



The aim and purpose of "The Nature Club of America" 

 is to bring together the parents, teachers and children to 

 guide them in the study of Nature. We have out- 

 lined a plan and take pleasure in presenting it to 

 you for your approval. We want club organ- 

 every community who will help us to establish 

 clubs. It is our intention to issue leaflets or 

 terlv or monthly outlining a course of study 

 for the seasons — Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. These 

 are to be edited by some of the best Nature workers of 

 the country. The work will be based on THE NATURE 

 LIBRARY, which represents the best work of the authors of 

 the ten volumes. 



We have prepared some printed matter explaining how 

 clubs can be organized and conducted in every community. 

 T e shall be pleased to send you the same on receipt of your 

 name and address on a postal or on the blank below.
