. Annual report of the Commissioner of Agriculture ... Agriculture -- New York (State). TEACHERS' LEAFLET NO. 18. A and activity. It reflects tlie sky, BKOOK is the best of subjects for nature-study. It is near and d'ear to every child. It is a world in itself. It is an epitome of the nature in which we live. In miniature, it illustrates the forces which have shaped much of the earth's surface. Day by day and century by century it carries its burden of earth-waste and lays it down in the quiet places. Always beginning and never ceasing, it does its work as slowiy and as quietly as the drifting of the years. It is a scene of life It is kissed by the sun. It is caressed by the wind. The minnows play in the pools. The soft weeds grow in the shallows. The grass and the dandelions lie on its sunny banks. The moss and fern are sheltered in the nooks. It comes one knows not whence : it flows one knows not whither. It awakens the desire of exploration. It is a realm of mysteries. It typifies the flood of life. It goes " on ; In many ways can the brook be made an adjunct of the school- room. One teacher or one grade may study its physiography ; another its birds; another may plat it.
