COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONVERSATION INCH Nature Study Pub- lishing Company, in Jan- uary, 1897, put before the teaching world the first accurately beautiful rep- resentations, not only of the forms of nature but of the tints and colors also, the brightest minds have been active in noting the effectiveness of the color photograph in school. Thousands of teachers have vied with each other in applying them in nature study with most gratifying results. An important discovery has been made almost at the same time by many of them.
