Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of the Evergreens in the Public Schools This publication is offered by the State Forester as supplementary to "The Study of Trees in Our Primary Schools," issued by this office last year. The coniferous or evergreen trees make an interesting group to study by themselves. They can be utilized by the teacher in the winter time, or dormant season of the year, when other material is not so accessible. In fact, at this season of the year they give great variety and beauty to the landscape. The interest in and association with the evergreens become very pronounced as soon as the deciduous tree leaves have changed from their natural beauty of summer to their grand autumnal glory, and finally fallen to the ground. The uses to which the evergreens are put at yuletide, and their part in making this season of the year one of the happiest to the child mind, make this the psychological time for their study. If this treatise helps to awaken in our young and coming generation a greater interest and love in trees and nature it will have done its part. Two other publications that teachers may find of assistance, if they do not possess them already, are: - "The Commercial Forest Trees of Massachusetts. How you may know them. A Pocket Manual," for general use. "The Study of Trees in Our Primary Schools," for teachers, mothers, and all interested in teaching children to love trees and nature. Under the Resolves of 1908, chapter 121, the Governor and Council have designated that these publications be sold by the State Forester at a price not less than the cost thereof; and additional copies may be printed, the expense thereof to be paid from the receipt of such sales.
