Excursions.

vicinity. from charts which we have in the Kindergarten They also learn the calls Of a few of the birds. Then on our first spring excursion their eyes are wide open to see how many birds they can recognize. If they go out into the country later with their parents they are able to use the knowledge gained and come back to the Kindergarten telling of the new birds the have seen.
 We gather wild flowers in the early spring, and the children learn their names. Then we play games bringing in the names and charac- which the children derive great pleasure. as well as the beneficial effects of the drill.
 On our excursions we also take the children to the fish ponds that they may see the life there, the gold lsh, the frogs, and the water flowers. We gather eggs of the frog or toad and bring them to the kindergarten 10 watch their development. The toad's eggs develop very rapidly, and the children are wonderfully inter- cstod in tpem The interest spreads beyond the kindergarten into the grades, and many of the older chill dren come in every few days to sec what change has taken place We gather enough eggs so that each child may take home two or three tadpoles to watch the further devel- opments there. They need little care, Cnly few cracker crumbs each day, and change of water once week. This helps to awaken in the child the thought and feeling Narure.
 Aside from the actual knowledge gained on these excursions, the children become observing and in tcrested il nature. They have learn 4d their first lessons in biology, and will not soon forget them.

$ "Come, let us Hive with our chil- dren,' said Froebel 1 know of no better way to do this than by taking 2 them into the realms of Nature.
 Children's lives are very near to Nature herself Happy excursions ln- to the woods and fields make chil- dren mere receptive to Natures in fuence, but their eyes need to be op- ened. Therefor, if mothers will try to interpret the life Of the flower, tree. bird. and other wonders, in a simple way it will inspire the child to make new discoveries as he goes along. Then as he comes into sym rGthy with the things about him, he will feel the unity of life.
 Excursions into nature are consid- cred an important part of the Kim dergarten program, and it may ln- tCrest mothers 10 know how we make these excursions and what we do.
 % We begin cur walks early in the fall. We notice all the flowers Of this season, the asters, solden-rod and gentian. We gather the autumn leaves and press them, then mount them in artistic arrangement.
 A little later We go to the fields for the purpose of gathering mater ial for stringing, such as joint weed, rose hips, acorns, thorn apples and berries. These can be used in many attractive combinations which de- light the children At this time we also notice that Nature is preparing for her long winters rest. The flowers have ceased blooming and have brought forth seeds. We call the chiId's attention to the protcc- tion of these seeds which mean new ried by the wind, insects, animals, or man and are planted to reproduce the species.
 About this time the caterpillar is crawling around, looking for place to build a cocoon. In the Kindcrgar- ten we try to have some caterpillara in order that the children may watch the transition of the cater pillars into butterflies.
 We have talked of the birds leav- ing for the south and we have no- ticed the empty nests. We have ob- served the squirrels gathering their winter stores. We have seen the farmef busy with his harvest. Now. we cal attention to the fact that all Nature, having forseen the coming of winter, and having prepared for the cold, seems to rest.
 While the children take great pleasure in the fall excursions, the spring has new beauties In which they delight. All the world is awake all life is unfolding.
 In the freshness and beauty of the springtime, is found new charm, . new eourcd of enjoyment. The birds are singing, and the flowers don their brightest colors. Do you won- .der children love to be part ot meadows and woods, gathering flow this, as they roam through the CTS and learning Natures lessons?
 In the spring we begin more . decided study of the birds The chil- dren learn the marking and names of many of the birds found in our
