BOOK REVIEWS.
The editor is pleased to acknowledge the following clever account of Nora
Perry's "A Flock of Boys and Girls," published by Little, Brown & Co.,
Boston.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE GREAT ROUND WORLD:
If any one wants to read an interesting book, I will tell you
one of Nora Perry's books, called "A Flock of Girls and Boys."
It is a collection of short stories, and tells of the scrapes
they got into and how they got out of them, and it has the
language boys and girls use every day. There is one story that I
was especially impressed with: the name of it is "Major Molly's
Christmas Promise." It was about a little girl who made a
promise to a little Indian girl; and she kept her promise; and
in doing that, although she did not know it, saved her mother's
and father's life, besides her friends having to go to war.

SIMPLE LESSONS IN THE
STUDY OF NATURE
By I.G. OAKLEY
This is a handy little book, which many a teacher who is looking for means
to offer children genuine nature study may be thankful to get hold of.
Nature lessons, to be entitled to that name, must deal with what can be
handled and scrutinized at leisure by the child, pulled apart, and even
wasted. This can be done with the objects discussed in this book; they are
under the feet of childhood--grass, feathers, a fallen leaf, a budding
twig, or twisted shell; these things cannot be far out of the way, even
within the stony limits of a city.
Nor are the lessons haphazard dashes at the nearest living thing; on the
contrary, they are virtually fundamental, whether with respect to their
relation to some of the classified sciences, or with reference to the
development of thought and power of expression in the child himself.
The illustrations are few, and scarcely more than figures; it is not meant
to be a pretty picture-book, yet is most clearly and beautifully printed
and arranged, for its material is to be that out of which pictures are
made. It will be found full of suggestions of practical value to teachers
who are carrying the miscellaneous work of ungraded schools, and who have
the unspeakable privilege of dealing with their pupils untrammelled by
cast-iron methods and account-keeping examination records.
