“No,” said the girl, “it’s not exactly done with books. I believe it is all done by Field Work.”
“Field Work?”
“Yes. Field Work four times a week and an Excursion every Saturday.”
“And what do you do in the Field Work?”
“The girls,” she answered, “go out in groups anywhere out of doors, and make a Nature Study of anything they see.”
“How do they do that?” I asked.
“Why, they look at it. Suppose, for example, they come to a stream or a pond or anything—”
“Yes—”
“Well, they look at it.”
“Had they never done that before?” I asked.
