Nature Study.

Nature study is teaching the youth
to see and to know the thing nearest
to hand, to the end that his life may
be fuller and richer, writes Prof. l.. H.
Bailey of Cornell university. Nature
study is not to be taught for the pur.
pose of making the youth a specialist
or a scientist. Now and then a pupil
will desire to pursue a science for the
sake of the science, and he should be
encouraged. But every pupil may
be taught to be interested in plants
and birds and insects and running
brooks, and thereby his life will be
the stronger. The crop of scientists
will take care Of itself.
