Naturalist Clubs 



THE Junior Naturalist Club is tlie organized form taken by the nature study work so 

 successfully done in New York schools under the auspices of Cornell University. Mr. 

 John W. Spencer, familiarly known as "Uncle John," is the able superintendent of the 

 Cornell Bureau of Nature Study. 



In the State of New York the Junior Naturalist Clubs are a part of the public school system, 

 and they are fostered by the State. So successful has been the work of these clubs, under the 

 supervision of Mr. Spencer, that their fame has extended into all sections of the country, and 

 there has arisen a wide-spread demand from other States for opportunity to organize Junior Nat- 

 uralists on the same plan. 



Chautauqua has arranged with Cornell University to meet this demand by taking charge of 

 the Junior Naturalist Club work outside of the State of New York. Clubs organized in other 

 States will be known as Chautauqua Junior Naturalist Clubs. The lessons used will be those 

 prepared by Cornell University for the clubs of New York, and the Chautauqua Junior Natural- 

 ists will be looked after by "Uncle John,'* just as are their fellow club members in the Empire 

 State. 



The children will be reached through Pets and Animals, as has been stated. For parents and 

 teachers The Chautauqiian will publish every month special material dealing with the work for 

 children in Pets and Ammals. This arrangement will give both teacher and pupil just what is 

 needed by each to make nature study delightful and practical. The supplementary material 

 published in both magazines will be furnished by the authors of the Cornell lessons.
