the coming of spring has brought
into life and being. Each year the
boys have shown increasing interest
in the contest which lasts about one
month and have secured the woods
and river banks for the specimens to
be secured for the exploring.
Mothers must not object to frogs
hopping about in the bedroom on
some bright spring morning while
the son and heir lies sleeping. 1t
may be only the frog he brought
home from the creek last night and
forgot to take it out of his pocket.
And sisters may expect to beS scared

enjoy the making of such collec-
tion and the scouting in the woods
for, these objects of natural history,
at any time, and with the encourage
ment which may, be afforded them at
home, they may be prize winners in
the contest.
The list Of things which alone will
