Nature study In Public schoo

The grange everywhere is interested
In the advancement Of the public
schools. The latest evidence Of it is in
the state of Oregon. The Oregon state
grange has heartily indorsed the intro
duction of nature study in country
schools. Last year teacher in one Of
the public schools Of Portland suburb
led her scholars in excursions to the
woods and fields near by to study
plants and insects there. This Is the
first time such a method of nature
study has been taken up in this state,
and so interesting and successful was
it that many Of the country schools will
take it up this fall.
