I saw in YOUNG PEOPLE that there is a prospect of a Natural History
Society. I am very much in favor of this, and I hope it will
succeed. I would like to know if those who do not take YOUNG PEOPLE
can become members. I have a friend who does not take it, but she
reads mine whenever she comes to see me, which visit occurs every
other evening, I going to see her on other days. If the society is
formed, every member should possess a book on natural history;
also, if the reports were printed in a special department, it would
be very nice.

I am in favor of having a Natural History Society, not to contain
more than one hundred members, none to be admitted under ten or
over fifteen. I think there should be no initiation fee, but
members should pay ten cents each month for the purpose of buying
books. I have a book which treats of animals, birds, insects, and
fish.

I am in favor of the Natural History Society proposed in No. 83 of
HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, but I have no suggestions to make. I will be
very glad to hear from others on the subject.

I was very much pleased with the letter from the president of the
Young Chemists' Club. I am interested in entomology, and I hope
that the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE will organize a Natural History
Society. I propose the following plan. Let a number of boys and
girls living in the same neighborhood meet together, adopt a
constitution, and elect officers. Each society thus formed might
send its address to the editor of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, and as he
is a very obliging gentleman, I think he would publish them for us.

I think the idea advanced by Charles H. Williamson is a splendid
one, and in so widely circulated a publication as YOUNG PEOPLE,
correspondence could be obtained from all parts of the world, and a
great deal of useful knowledge might be gained.

Seeing Master Charles H. Williamson's letter with reference to
forming a Natural History Society, in No. 83 of HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE, I beg leave to offer my opinion to him with regard to the
same.
I think that it would be a very good thing, and I also think that
a great deal of interest would be taken in it. I hope that it will
prove successful.
