NATURE-STUDY SYLLABUS General Nature-Study.—In the pages of the Rural School Leaflet we are endeavoring to give to the New York State teachers subject matter which will help them in following the new syllabus of Nature-Study and We have already published articles on The English Sparrow, The Hen, and- The Dog. In the February issue we shall pub- lish an article on The Pea and in March an article on The Cow. In each issue of the Leaflet suggestions will be made for continued study of these different subjects. Bird Study.—In addition to the lessons on The English Sparrow teachers are requested for this year to have the children of the second grade identify any three winter birds. If the teacher will place a piece of suet or meat bone on a tree in the school yard the winter birds are very likely to come to it, chick-a-dees, nut- hatches, some of the woodpeckers, a blue jay, perhaps, and others. This gives op- portunity for the very best kind of bird study. In the first place children are taught thoughtfulness for birds and in the second place they are able to make personal observations. Let the children compare with the English Sparrow the birds that they see either in the schoolyard or on their trips to and from school, observing ways in which these birds differ from it or ways in which they resemble it. The names of all the birds observed by the children during the year should be kept on the blackboard or on a bird calendar. For one of the lessons in grades four to six, let the children classify the birds they know as follows: Birds of the dooryard, orchard, field, thicket, forest, Fig. 19.—.4 typical draft horse.
