THE TALE OF A POND, by Henry B. Kane, '24; Alfred A. Knopf ($3.00). Reviewed by Richard H. Pough, '26, President, the Natural Area Council, the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks, and the John Burroughs Association.

IT HAS been said that "a scientist is born every time a youth is first fired with curiosity concerning the wonders of the world about him." It is equally important if he is to be channeled into science that his curiosity be encouraged and opportunities provided for him to read the book of nature.

Few natural environments in the vicinity of our growing cities have remained as relatively undisturbed as ponds. Here any youngster can find a wealth of life on which to practice his powers of observation and test his ability to frame hypotheses to explain observed phenomena.

The Tale of a Pond is thus far more than just a beautifully written and illustrated book about the teeming life of a typical pond. As it tells what one boy found in his pond around the seasons and how he collected and studied its inhabitants, it suggests to the reader things it would be fun to do in his own neighborhood pond.

Everyone with children or grandchildren should see that they get this book the next time a present is called for. They should also see that the recipient is given help in setting up a few aquaria in which such pond dwellers as can be collected may be studied at close hand.

A Supplement to 'Technique'
THE M.I.T. YEARBOOK, Technique, has a 32-page supplement this year reviewing "A Century of Technology," in pictures that will interest many Alumni.

Included are views of the Mercantile Library on Summer Street where the first classes met, the Boston Back Bay District before and after the Institute was located there, the construction of the present main buildings in Cambridge, and the crossing of the Charles. The Class of 1873, the first student lunch room, the 1916 All-Tech Banquet in Symphony Hall, and many wartime and athletic events are also pictured.

The Editor-in-Chief was William R. Watson, '61; the centennial editor, John S. Maslanka, '61, and the layout editor, H. Reed Gregg, '63.
