Co. Minneapolis: N. Mccarthy. Price 81
. net.
The author has very rational and cor
rect views on the subject Of nature study.
He properly characterizes 1t as "a revolt
from the teaching Of mere science in the
elementary grades. It is not
science; 1t is not knowledge; it is not
facts. 1t is spirit. 1t is concerned with
the child's outlook on the world. The
author would encourage the teaching Of
nature-love, or nature study in the
schools as a justifiable and rational way
to bring children to maturer years, liv-
ing closer to nature and in sympathetic
contact with the things OF the external
world, awakening e real personal inter
est in all natural objects and phenomena.
Nature must be, studied; not a. book,
while the teachers personality should
stand out strongly as one who has gath
cred Inspiration from personal study Of
nature and who has, Wlthal, large
knowledge OF science In successive chap
tiers Professor Bailey adequately illus
trates his conceptions OF nature study.
He would use 1t to carry a vital educa-
tional impulse TO the farming cornmuni-
ties, to bring them in sympathy with
their environment. The chapters on the
Interpretation of nature, the New Hunt
ing and THE Integument Man are full
of interesting suggestions. The professor
stands for the man with point of view
as against a man. with a fund Of mere
facts. The latter has no power to COR

BOSTON SINKING INTO THE SEA
At tho Rate OF One Inch Every Eight
Years. Engineer Says.

BosToN Mass, June I9-J. r. Freeman,
a former member of the Metropolit an
Water Board and now consulting member
of and engineer for the New York Board on
Additional Water Supply, in the course OF
report on the proposed Charles River dam,
makes the statement that Boston is slowly
sinking into the sea, and the harbor bottom
tends slowly to become deeper
"All the territory in and about Boston
is probably slowly sinking, relatively to
the level OF the sea-" he says. -Appar
emily this subsistence is at tho rate OF about
an eighth of an inch per year, one inch in
eight years, or little more than foot in
each 100 years.
The present datum plane. to which all
elevations are referred by the engineering
department OF the city OF Boston. and
which is commonly known as Boston
Base" probably conceded almost exactly
in the year 1870 with mean low water at the
Charlestown navy yard
To-day. after n lapse of seventv-two
years, the same datum-plane. as defined
by numerous bench marks on solid ground,
according to the best available dcterrnina-
tion ia 10 foot below mean low water.
This comparison shows that the land
now stands 40 foot lower relatively to the
sea than it did about seventy-two years
ago, and shows that the land in Boston
and vicinity is sinking at the rate of about
one foot each 100 years.
