mitting) out of doors, rambles in the country under the 

 guidance of experienced teachers being the chief feature. 



Miss Hibbert-Ware (Science Mistress, Queen Margaret's 

 School, Scarborough) and Mr. Tabor (Resident Science 

 Lecturer) will lead combined excursions for studying birds, 

 pond life, insects, wild flowers, trees, grasses, etc., in their 

 different environments. 



The college gardens, greenhouses, orchards, farm, and 

 fruit-preserving appliances will be in working order, and 

 students will be able to obtain an insight into the work 

 carried on in each department. Miss M. Agar will give 

 demonstrations and instructions in simple gardening, 

 and on the care of school gardens. Demonstrations in 

 dairying and poultry -keeping will be given by Miss M. 

 Dawson (N.D.D. and Certificate Midland Dairy Institute), 

 who will explain the chief points of farm operations during 

 the year. 



As far as possible the open-air studies will take place 

 within easy distance of the college, but excursions will be 

 arranged to districts with varying soils and climate, and 

 the accompanying variety of natural objects. Students 

 having bicycles are advised to bring them. 



It is hoped to combine the natural history excursions 

 with points of antiquarian, artistic, and other interest in 

 outlying districts, and endeavour will be made to render 

 the course useful, both for home life and school work.
