. Annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). ECEMBER, 1896, was the first issue of the nature-study leaflets. Thirteen leaflets have now appeared. Voluntary- requests for these publications have now increased our mailing-list to 25,000 live names. Most of these names are of teach- ers in New York. In the State of New York there are 29,000 teachers. Our entire movement in nature-study is for the benefit of the children. We are now making an effort to reach them directly, as well as through the teacher, the parent, the garden and the flower-show. We have long had correspondence with many children. Many thousands have applied to us for information on the making of gardens and on various matters connected with the common phenomena of nature ; but we are now inaugurating a definite effort at the organization of nature-clubs amongst the children of the State. The correspondence arising from this educational work has come to be large. At present it averages over 1,200 letters a week. In a twelve-month as many as 80,000 circular letters of instruction have been sent to our correspondents. This personal correspon- dence will increase. For these reasons we have adopted a new form of publication. This Bulletin will be issued four times a year, and perhaps more frequently. Bach issue will contain a nature-study lesson for the teacher, and one for the children. Notes of instruction, explanation and advice, and letters from friends of the move- ment, will fill the remainder of the Bulletin. We desire to keep in touch with every penson who has been connected with us. This nature-study movement has grown to large Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
