THE GUIDE TO NATURE 
thing must be untrampled with the ex- 
ception of the ground of the apiary 
where it is impossible for those who 
participate in the demonstrations to 
keep on the walks. 
4. Reading newspapers is not per- 
mitted except by those who remain 
overnight. Our facilities, contributed 
by our Members and friends, must be 
used to best possible advantage. We 
follow the instructions of Henry David 
Thoreau to read not “The Times” but 
the “Eternities.” For those who desire 
to read there are about a thousand na- 
ture books on the premises. A book on 
almost any phase of nature will be sup- 
plied on request. 
5. Dishes and other conveniences 
must be left in the same good condition 
in which they are found, ready for fur- 
ther use. 
About sixty members of The Brook- 
lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences spent 
Saturday, May 7, at ArcAdiA, having 
the usual program of six hours in 
length. 
Sunday, May 8, The Rambling Club 
of Paterson, N T ew Jersey, spent the 
same time with similar program. All 
expressed themselves as greatly inter- 
ested in the work.

WANTED: A GIFT OF $5,000. 
Forty-six years of youthful activities 
— -we are the Association that never 
grows old or out of date. 
Forty-six years of dependence upon 
the living — we have never deprived any 
one of the joy and satisfaction of seeing 
how contributed money was spent, thus 
inciting to repeated gifts from nearly 
every one. 
Though death has taken from us 
many of our most liberal contributors, 
we have superlative faith that some- 
where will be found the one to give us 
the five thousand dollars to be used in 
a detailed plan under the personal ap- 
proval of the contributor. 
We make moderate amounts of 
money go a long way. We point with 
pride to every detail of our record of 
almost a half century. There have been 
only two managers of The Agassiz As- 
sociation, the former for thirty-two 
years, the present for fourteen, and 
neither has received salary for the 
executive management of The AA. 
No other charitable and educational 
organization has a better Board of 
Trustees. They represent a wide range 
of territory and interests— characteris- 
tic of The AA.
