The Nature Students.

There are days of automobiles,
baseball and golf, when people take
their pleasures In speed, yelling or
costly games. What has become Of
the simple old times when SO many
people used to find their recreation in
studying botany, splitting UP rocks
to find their geological formation, or
learning the notes of birds? Are
there any nature students left?
II you ask the modern business
man to find relief from the cares of
his office by going out into the woods
and learning the names and character
istics of the trees, the plants, and the
insects, he would be very much bored.
Yet every species of birds has its
own destinations and graces, and it is
pleasure to numberA them all in
your circle of friends Every variety
of tree renders its own service to
mankind, and it is interesting to
know what it has contributed to hui.

great stage on which nature is per-
forming her thrilling drama. If ones
eyes can be opened, there is world
OF beauty and interest in the quiet
seclusion Of the woods and fields.

MOBILIZATION OF
DOCTORS IN ENGLAND
Medical Council Believes some Sort
of Organization on War Footing +
Will Be Necessary.


London, July GA 'mobilizatIon9
of all the doctors in England is being
talked of here. The dearth of quail
fled physicians and surgeons owing
to the large Numbers taken for war
vcrk. has reached such d stag that
r. GERS OF the Medical Councd believe
that some sort of an organization OF
the profession on q war foolmg will
be necessary, especially as t6c public
health is Al the present Incm nj q
matter of spec al Importance.
The question of rcarr Urging the
work of the doctors TO meet So:h the
military and civil demands is admit
teddy a difHcult one. Neither doc
tors nor patients are likely to be
plealed with any possible method OF
Ovid ng up private medical work
:tlcrg what might perhaps be- %iIlea
efficiency lines.
Many PHYSICIANS. especially II the
crowded parts of nc cities. are al
ready as busy as they can be. and
probably in these cases no readjust-
mont would be advisable, but there
are large numbers Of practitioners IN
the suburban and country districts
who could be advantageously placed
in sections where special need is felt.
If this involves heavy loss TO them,
il may be possible to arrange for gov
eminent compensation.
