To Review Book
This Afternoon
"Road of a Naturalist" to Be
Featured at Weekly Book
Hour.
"Road of a Naturalist," an
autobiography of Donald Cul-
ross Peatee, will be reviewed
by Miss Irene F. Jorae, acting
head of the biology department, at the Book Hour at
5 p. m. today in W355.
This book is the story of the
author's life as he jots down his
experiences as a naturalist. "Mr.
Peatee has a gift" said Miss Jorae
"of telling how he feels about
nature. He sees beyond the surface
and makes you see and feel with
him." One can almost see the unusual blue of the sky and smell the
flower as one reads. The picture he
gives of his wife and children is en-
trancingly beautiful.
Last Week's Review

library, reviewed "Toward Freedom"
