IGNORANT OF NATURE.
Thousands of Pupils In Schools In
New York Have Never Seen Cow.

New York, July 3.-Astonishing
cases Of ignorance, not only of nature,
but of their own environment on the
part of school children Of New York.
have come to light as the result of
Joint labors of the American Museum
of Natural History and the board of
education.
Thousands Of the pupils have never
wandered more than three or four
blocks from the street in which they
were born and the book Of nature is
practically sealed to them. The only
animals they ever have seen are
horses, dogs and cats; the only bird
with which they are familiar is the
English sparrow.
"How many children on the east
side have ever seen COW, for in
stance?" asked George H. Sherwood
of the museum ri venture to say
there are thousands and thousands of
them who have not. The question was
asked Of class of sixty the other day.
Only one boy raised his hand.
"'Well how big is cow so big,
was his reply. spreading his hands to
a width which would indicate the
length of a dog. Did you ever see
one?' o, sure,' was the reply, 4 saw
1t in the window of dairy-a picture
of It,
Answers such as that, it is argued,
show the futility Of trying to teach
anything in the way Of natural science
by pictures or photographs.
1t would be thought, for instance,
that pupils might go to the parks to
observe the ways of birds and animals.
There are many east side children who
have never seen Third avenue, a
street which is less than three-quart-
ers of a mile from a school in which
inquiries were made.
DR.. Bumpus, director of the museum,
recently instituted a series of lectures
for school children. They were brought
to the lecture hall of the museum.
Hundreds of them never in all their
lives had been on the elevated rail-
road and often in one class there were
five or six children who were i'll after
their journey.

months. If females are keeping up
with the males in this regard, how
ever, they are dying off faster, as the

weaker. The assessors should have
made full reports on these items, but
most of them neglected to do SO.
