THE GUIDE TO NATURE 
cution by the Bolsheviki, who regarded 
him as a counter revolutionary.” 
Prince Kropotkin was one of the 
foreign admirers of The Agassiz Asso- 
ciation and did much to introduce the 
work in several countries, believing it 
should be world-wide. He advocated 
personally by letter and by magazine 
articles the principles of The Agassiz 
Association. In a pamphlet that we 
issued about the time of moving from 
Stamford to Sound Beach we published 
an entire page of quotation from an 
article that he had written in the 
“Nineteenth Century” magazine, in 
which he gave in detail our well- 
known, excellent characteristics. From 
that we repeat the following sentences 
as expressing his approval of the Asso- 
ciation as a world-wide organization : 
“Is it necessary to insist on the bene- 
fits of The Agassiz Association, or to 
show how it ought to be extended ? The 
greatness of the idea is too clear. . . . 
The Agassiz Association has a bril- 
liant future ; it will surely extend all 
over the world.” 
We enjoy the entire magazine but I 
have been especially interested in Dr. 
Bigelow’s educational articles. There 
is such great need for revision of our 
old ideas concerning girls, especially. 
My heart gave a little extra thump of 
pleasure with the knowledge that Dr. 
Bigelow is writing so instructingly on 
this subject. — Mrs. Ella B. Beckwith,

Permit me to state that the class is 
finding the magazine of great interest 
and stimulus in arriving at the enjoy- 
able and pleasurable side of the science 
we are pursuing. Perhaps at some 
time we may be in a position to furnish 
you some interesting biological data 
from the far southwest. — Miss Mattie

Loyalty to Greenwich. 
It is with no little pleasure that we 
have noted the important factor that 
The Guide to Nature has been in the 
building up of the Town of Greenwich. 
We are the only local publication that 
reaches desirable prospective citizens 
who do not already know about Green- 
wich. Our local newspapers, like those 
of any other town, have a large circu- 
lation among persons who formerly 
lived in the town or have friends there, 
but we reach thousands who have not 
known it or perhaps have never heard 
of it. 
Fame is such that even the richest 
town of the United States we occa- 
sionally discover is not known by 
every one. An important factor in the 
building up of Greenwich through our 
magazine has been the faithful man- 
ner in which Mr. Laurence Timmons 
has been an advertiser. Almost since 
the magazine started he has been an 
ardent friend of the town and of the 
magazine. He has occupied a con- 
spicuous position at the top of our first 
advertising page. Our magazine travels 
the country over in addition to its large 
local circulation. 
Mr. Timmons appreciates the fact 
that every copy issued has been of 
benefit to him, and we appreciate the 
fact that he has faithfully stayed with 
us. By good methods he has built up 
a large real estate business in which 
his faithfulness and genial personality 
are valuable assets. Everybody likes 
him, and everybody feels that he knows 
Greenwich from A to Z, past, present 
and future. Probably no man in the 
town has a more vivid prophetic view 
of what Greenwich is rapidly coming 
to be than has Mr. Timmons. Those 
of our readers that are interested in 
Greenwich real estate consult with him 
as we are glad to learn. He stands for 
Greenwich and expresses that belief 
practically in loyalty to its own and 
only magazine. That is more than 
some other persons can say who do a 
good deal of alleged shouting about 
Greenwich.

Softest shell pinks. 
Expanse of snow; 
Planets and stars 
In the afterglow.
