Making individual rock collections

Peoples should be encouraged to make their own collection of rocks. Small pasteboard or cigar boxes will serve to be the collections. The specimens may be kept divide by putting partitions in the boxes. As a pupil identifies the rocks in his collection, he should cut small pieces of paper or adhesive tape and fasten one to every rock. Place a number on each and then paste a list on the cover of the box. It is a good idea to have the collections kept small. Peoples may be encouraged to fill out their collections by trading samples with other peoples.
