Nature Study Made Pleasant for School Girls
BY

Nature study is supposed to be a
quite olnerent thing from the study Of
DOCKS In way 1t may be true that
the two kinds of study are not very
much alike, but in another way they
cannot be separated. Nature is around
us wherever we turn; above US
stretches the sky; we breathe the air
we have, whether we live in town or
IN the country, the sights and sounds
or nature near up all the time If we
nave only little back yard with a
small plot of grass and a pot or two
or flowers, if our only acquaintance
with birds is derived from a canary or
a parrot III cage, we still may study
nature, although not with the same
degree of interest that will be ours
when We make excursions to green
fields.
1 take it for granted that the girls
VINO are studying nature are doing so
20 some purpose. Every one of US ought
10 known by sight and touch the trees
IN the locality nearest our homes. We
should knew them by their pecuIiari-
ties or bark and branch and bud and
leaf We should know the flowers that
grow in our countryside, recognizing
them by their Deculiarities of root
stem and flower, of color and perfume
We should likewise know the birds
NothlnS Is more absorbing than the
study of birds. They are fascinating
little creatures. Their habits. man
herS ana customs are not so very op-
poSlte our own when we really Deue-
trate Their secrets. In a single rather.
small neighbOrhOOd in New Jersey n
hlrd lover last summer counted no less
than hfty-twO varieties OF birds. Their
mlgrations, their nests, their patience
IN finding food for their young. the
mothers and fathers care in showing
the young birds how to fly. all these
are interesting parts of nature studv
But 1t Is not so much of this that I am
thinking as / write to you. as of the
way In which we may helD one an
other IN these days Girls who live in
the country ought to have a mission to
tfelr city cousins, and when spring
and summer bring their pleasant davS
boxes of wild flowers and garden aoty-
ers, too, should be sent weekly to the
schoolrooms where the pupils have no
easy way of getting specimens for
themselves. Schools i'm different parts
OF the country should exchange flow
ers smells and other interesting prom
critics OF the nature study class. and
IL would not be at all a bad idea If
there were regular system of CORE
spondence between Jean of the little
village and Betty of the big civ all
about the work each was doing in her
study of nature
Another helpful thing that !. recon-
mend is the marking of passages in
the poetry and prose that you read
with an especial look to their bearing
on nature. You will find that the poets
care a great deal about the winds and
the waves. the sky and the earth and
that real poetry is full of beautiful al
luslons TO the phenomena of the world

a suffrage qualification usually excludes
the more ignorant.
Take the case of the Japanese. for
instance, no one is disposed to cues

Such that less than One-tenth of the

that she cannot govern herself.
Those who question the capacity of
