scientist, who has roamed West In
dian jungle3 in search Of rare speci-
mems and gone down adventurously
to the floor of the sea itself with his
camera to photograph the weird and
wonderfully colored life that abounds
in the ocean depths.
Few men have rendered greater
service to the boys of Washington.
For years he has been a leader in
Scout work, building up characters as
we'll as a wealth of general informa-
ton. From the text book Of nature he
is teaching love and sympathy. The
boy who has spent a few days under
the supervision of DIR. Bartsch is I'M
likely ever again to look upon birds
and flowers without real sense of
kinship. To the vanishing wild forms
of the local woods DIR. Bartsch also is
rendering a modest but invaluable
service, and he is teaching the boys
to continue this work. He Is a volun-
teer protector of wild creatures from
wanton destruction by the hunter. par
ticularly mothers whose little ones are
not able to forage for themselves. The
small garden plot of his Washington
home has been given over almost en-.
tirely to the cultivation of wild flowers
which have been placed in danger of
extinction by the carelessness of mo.
florists and the spread of building
operations.
During the week the hikes and ma.
ture classes are conducted by one of
DIR. Bartsch's ablest pupils. Speci-
mems are collected and identified as
far as possible. On Saturdays and
Sundays the master himself Identifies
the rarer objects and inducts the boys
into their deeper meanings. Every
boy trained under DIR. Bartsch means
just so much longer life to the plants
and animals facing destruction in the
evolutionary process which attends
the upbuilding of a city. From the in.
structor the boys learn that there is
a romance and personality about all
living creatures: that whatever
breathes fits into the marvellous archi-
lecture OF nature and is not to be
destroyed ruthlessly.
