Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nature-Study Review, Vol. 14: Devoted Primarily to All Scientific Studies of Nature in Elementary Schools; January, 1918 Any one who has lived in the prairie region of the middle west cannot help but be familiar with these animated ten pins. One does not need to spend hours in search of material for nature-study here for as he goes walking or riding through the prairie country these "now-you-see-me, now-you-don´t" animals make up a conspicuous part of the landscape. With ears pressed close to the rounded head, with body erect and fore paws so small as to be inconspicuous, these animals stand perfectly stiff and rigid at the approach of any thing unfamiliar. There seems to be a dead line somewhere, however, because all of a sudden there is a sharp whistle and the approaching enemy sees only a scurrying brown form or nothing at all. The writer had an excellent opportunity to observe these animals on the campus of the Iowa State Teachers´ College at Cedar Falls, Iowa. Here, they manage to hold their own in spite of small boys who snare them, learned professors who poison them and a large coterie of cats which are protected by the ever present janitor who can see nothing of good in "just gophers." In spite of all of these handicaps, the campus has each year managed to boast a family or two of these interesting animals. Last summer, a family took up its headquarters under the sidewalk just outside my office. About two thousand people must have passed this animal home at least once or twice every school day of the summer term and yet but few stopped to acquaint themselves with any of the interesting habits of its occupants. Most of the people passed by without a thought, never noticing the round head with close cropped ears and bright eyes peeking at them from the edge of the concrete a few feet away.
