Jack, a biology teacher for thirty years, offered our campers the most far reaching science program in private camp- ing. In turn, this has developed a great interest and has unquestionably helped our boys in their formal education. The Nature Building, as always, was stocked with hundreds of interesting specimens, both live and preserved. Charts, pictures, instruments, a nature library plus QIack's wonderful manner with our boys completed the picture. We had our finest zoo yet, consisting of some animals that I ack had kept over the winter back in Ohio, as well as some new specimens, trapped in the Berkshires. Among the inhabitants of Iack's zoo were a red fox, three skunks, an albino raccoon plus two normally marked icoons, snakes, turtles, frogs, a golden pheasant, a white ferret, an opposum with a dozen babes in her pouch, a groundhog, rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks. Many boys helped care and feed our animals, and some boys even learned to handle them. Our nature program, as before, consisted of two parts, the observation and collection of natural specimen, and secondly, classroom instruction and dissection. Nature hikes about camp and in adjacent forests gave us the opportunity to collect specimen and to observe the habitat and feeding habits of insects, reptiles, birds and animals. The nature work in the lodge covered the ana- tomy of the vertebrate and invertebrate. We also learned the process of reproduction and photo synthesis in plants. Drendology Cidentification of plant life by its leavesj was a favorite of the Sparrows and Robins.
