The second lecture OF the week, on

NJ. Silloway, on the subject. Nature
| Study in the Schools" The object
of nature study is to attain more fully
the training of faculties which are
more or less neglected In formal text
book instruction. 1t is to lead pupils
in direct contact with nature that
they may form habits of observation
which will enkindle a love for beauty
and truth wherever found In animal.
plant or mineral. Nature study is not
a substitute for the time-tricd branch
es of study. but Il is a most import.
ant auxiliary of the teachers work,
for its lessons give deeper meaning
to life. Nature study is too import
ant to be ignored, neglected or re-
luctantly done. Nature study means
! sense training, and in proportion as
the senses are trained, the capacity
for life and the meaning OF life broad
en-. The lecture was full of good sug-
gestions. giving to the subject deep
err meaning. and offering very helpful
and sensible suggestions regarding
methods of procedure.
On Saturday evening the third lee
ture of the week was given by the
director, Prof. NJ. j. Elrod, on the
subject. THE Effects of Altitude Up
on Life
High altitude is associated with
rareied atmosphere. short season. eX.
tremes of heat and cold and strong
winds. The ascent of a mountain has
about the same effect on vegetation
as movement toward the pole. In Col
orado timberline is about 10000 feet,
in Montana about $500. Five hun.
dred feet elevation shortens the sea
son almost one week during the year.
High altitude areas are confined to
mountain ranges and are Isolated
peaks here and there. The alpine
forms are confined to these small
areas, and the question as TO their
origin is puzzling. yet interesting.
Two hypothesis may be made ex'
planning the origin of alpine life. The
forms may have been left stranded
by the retreat of the glaciers during
glacial epochs, or they may have been
brought about by adaptation to en-
vironment, since II is well known that
all animals are prone to wander and
plants have some means of distribu'
ton.
A number OF examples were given
to illustrate the points brought out
and references were made TO the reg.
ion Just visited at high altitude in the
Swan range.
The week has been verp profitable
and much good work has been accom-
