THE BOOK OF NATURE
CHILD READERS Some little time ago mention was made in "The Evening Post" of an eight-year-old Taranaki - boy named Albert Hans Larsen, who was one of the youngest competitors in the New Zealand Forestry League's schools competition for pressed and mounted specimens of native plants. The little boy's difficulties in the way of buying the mounting materials, as he lives on the shoulder of Egmont, "remote from shops," were incidentally -mentioned. This paragraph falling under the notice of a Wellington reader, he posted some books likely to assist the boy in his efl'orts to read the book of Nature; and the outcome is a boyish letter in reply, indicating that the seed has dropped not on stony ground. The moral of this story has various aspects, not the least of which is the value of .the -Forestry. League's efforts among the young.
