It was just when the successful candidates were receiving congratulations that Beata Castleton stood up.

”As this is an open meeting may I make a suggestion?” she asked.

”Certainly,” replied Merle from the chair.

”Well, I should like to suggest a 'Nature Study Club.' There doesn't seem to be anything of that sort in the school, is there?”

”We have a museum somewhere about the place, I believe,” admitted Merle.

”It's all put away in boxes,” said Edith.

”Then why can't we bring it out and arrange it and add to it? And can't we start a record, year by year, of when we find the first specimens of certain wild flowers, hear the first notes of certain birds, and see migratory birds? It would be ever so interesting.”

”What a splendid idea! I'd like to second that!” exclaimed Mavis, jumping up in great enthusiasm.

The general feeling was in favour of the proposition, and the Nature Study Club was duly inaugurated, with Beata for president and Fay Macleod for secretary, and a committee consisting mostly of the particular little set of girls who motored daily from Chagmouth.
