in his father's orchard has drawn his

curiosity. Did the flower grow in the

sect visitors? In what manner do tho [haves grow ontheystein? Of what form 7`_is the stem? Many uestions - niayi be given him to which oblnvation will readi- ly yield answers and these answers mnyf .be important characteristics in the identi 'ficatipn of plants, yet learned as the out- ’eome of childish curiosity. Q

in teaching. the teacher should have

his mind rather on the child than the ‘subject under consideration. The thing studied niay appear frivolous but the very act of studying trains the mind to obser- vation and that is the fruit desired. Take for instance the lowly frog. How pleas ant it is in spring to hear the first concert 'in froglaud? _Though one of the liiirublest creatures to raise its voice in welcome to

; returning suiniiier yet it brings to the mind a whole Hood of summer memories. Howeaaily the cliildren‘s attention may be diverted to the study of the frog and tht changes thattulte place in its form. ‘instead of destroying its spawn the boys will watch anxiously for the arrival of the ‘young hp.-poles. As frogs ‘destroy vast ,numbers of injurious insects andere some of the fannerarbest friends- the children‘s. interek-in them is of value as it tends to their protection. The germinktlon of; seeds in boxes or even between sheets of; moistened blotting paper affords valuable' and interesting information and awaken: tlve.-cl`1»i1d's~irLterest- in. the » vegetable; worldf and conseqaental y in1iarm‘life‘- =‘H'ei sbouldllidve- his own littlh pilot in tliefl lmmegarilen where he may carry ion hisi_ -owne operations.

Hts experi merits will teach him the most suitable depth for seeds:-the benefit of' proper ~¢ultivation and many other things _of value. This interest in' farm life evoked by Nature Study will impress on parents ihe benefit of the study and the great iri- tluence it will exert in. giving the young, :people a liking, fonfzarm life. The farmen _will thus come to his proper estate ofself ,respect and true knowledge of the dignity of his occupation. _i , One of the greatest aids in Nature Study is the school garden. If is the epitome of the farm. Let the children fdig. They will soon notice the dilferencc 'between the top_ soil and the sub soil. gQuestioii them as to the opinion = how the diderence has aiylsen. Then explain the .W0r\¢ Of .-tl1e~t‘otrests~lesves in forming, humus :of the vqiorms in working .over the 'soil and drawing dowu into it particles of- vegetable mat&r. Explain the teiture of the soil and thefformation of loamifroma proper admixture of clay sand and 'decay- ed organic inatier. Show tliat,thi_s loam is tbe.ideal.e_oil.;'aa_it holds sufEcient,watcr for the plant arid yet allows the air tio per- ‘nieate it.

The study of simple phenonioiia very

often serves to explain some of the grandest operations in nature., A boy views a little stream running down liill after rain. lie sees the sand and clay spread fan like where the miniature tor- rent flows over level ground.

May we not assert tliiittlie introduction

of Nature Study to the scheme of inoderl education is one of the greatest advaiicclj of this enlightened era ?

That it will serve to dispel the tediuiii
