Stories of Insect Life. (Second Series.) 
Summer and Autumn. By Mary E. Murtfeldt and Clarence 
M. Weed. i2mo. Cloth. 72 pages. For introduction, 30 cents. 
This book, like its predecessor, aims to give to young pupils an 
accurate and readable account of the life histories of some com- 
mon insects. It is designed for use during the autumn months, 
as the first book was especially intended for use in spring. The 
paragraphs are short, the language simple, with no more technical 
words than are absolutely necessary, and each story is compressed 
into a space that will not weary the child. Throughout the stories 
the reader is incited to make original observations out of doors. 
An introductory chapter gives suggestions to the teacher regarding 
methods of using insects in nature study.

important methods by which seeds are dispersed. 
It is designed especially for use during autumn and winter. It 
is believed that the book will prove of decided value in the prac- 
tical work of the schoolroom.
