The aim of this conference was to bring together practitioners and academics from around Europe, interested in outdoor and experiential education linked to formal education and non-formal youth work. The conference will examine different ways and purposes of approaching and using nature in outdoor education. It will also try to build up networks of practical cooperation and knowledge transfer. The theme is based on the generally accepted educational philosophy of outdoor pedagogies that a stay in natural landscapes and confrontation with and exploration of natural phenomena can provide a positive stimulus to the educational processes of individuals. The conference is organized around three main topics: Concepts of Nature in Outdoor Study Programmes of Universities and Colleges of Higher Education Since many professionals use outdoor practices in their everyday work, the conference represents papers addressing the different ways in which nature is approached

    Wl^liii Number 4 December 1966 Volume 5 THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - Case 5: The Case of the "Star-Cross'd Lovers" For Case 5 we are taking a few poetic liberties with our title. If you recall your high school Shakespeare, perhaps you will recall the Prologue to "Romeo and Juliet", in which Shakespeare refers to "A pair of star-cross'd lovers" and ends it with "The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend". Case 5 will not bring up the mysteries of love potions; however, it most definitely will bring up a few mysteries surrounding a pair of stars and crosses on a famous set of sport stamps. I would imagine that almost all collectors of sports stamps are acquainted with the two sets of stamps which Uruguay issued in 1924 and 1928 to celebrate the soccer victories in the Olympic Games of those years. I wonder how many know that the second set (1928) was also issued for official use. Unfortunately, "Scott" has only this note at the end of Its listing of Uruguay officials: "Since 1928, instead of official stamps, Uruguay has used envelopes with "S.O." printed on them and stamps of many issued which are punched with various designs such as star or crescent". It is also unfortunate that many collectors probably do not possess a "Landmans" which il­ lustrates these punches. The first type is a five-pointed star. The second is commonly referred to as a Maltese cross, although technically it probably resembles a pattee cross more than a Maltese cross.
