. Annual report of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). HOME NATURE-STUDY COURSE. TEACHER'S LEAFLET. Based ox the work for third year pupils as outlined in the Sylla- bus OF Nature-Study and Agriculture, issued by the New York State Education Department. The editors would like to suggest that the " Facts for teachers " given with each lesson be simply used as a guide to the teacher while she is making her observations preparatory to giving the lesson, and by no means be used instead of personal observation. There are two good ways of giving a nature-study lesson: one is to get brim full of the sub- ject-matter of the lesson before giving it to the pupils; the other is to work with the pupils, studying with them-the object under observation in a spirit of good fellowship and mutual interest. However, in either case, the teacher must see what she would have her pupils see and know what she would have them know. " Facts for teachers " are given for the teacher's reassurance and not to bolster up ignorance. THE CHICKADEE AND NUTHATCH.

The pupils who are old enough should use a note-book for making their observations on the colors and habits of these A chickadee entering its nest. 561.
