Hartland Nature Club.

President Whiting came up from
Boston to attend the April meeting
of the Hartland Nature Club and to
assist in the plans for Arbor day
work. 1t was decided to let each
teacher conduct the nature work in
her own way during the term and
to offer prize to the school that
does the most practical work, and,
that sends the best essay on this
subject written by one of it's pupils.
Mrs. Spear, superintendent of
schools, suggested that some one Of
the Club visit the school in his own
section and try to awaken an interest
in nature study. Mrs, G o. Gill
gave a delightful paper "Pot-herbs
and Salads, with Recipes" showing
that great many Of our native
plants can be used in cookery by a
skilled dietitian.
Mr.. ,Graham's paper on Fines and
Their determination" was both prac-
teal and interesting.
1t is with regret that the Club
learns. through Mr.. Chapman,
Woodstock's tree warden, of the
spread OF the brown-tail' moth to
Hartland hill and the Weed district
On May 10th the Club will explore
Bashan Bog.
