Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plant and Animal Children: How They Grow
This book attempts to express in Simple language the essential facts and principles of growth and development in plant and animal life and to Show the relation of these facts and principles to human life. It is written especially for children. It aims to make clear the ideas of evolution, heredity, varia tion, eect of environment, and the evolution of sex, without once mentioning these names. In this it is a departure from that tradition which has held that such ideas are the exclusive prerogative of the college-bred. The author has demonstrated by practical tests that children are not only greatly interested in the study of plant and animal life when this study is progressive and related to human life and its problems, but that they are also able to comprehend the subject-matter of botany and zoology when this is expressed in language suitable to their comprehension.
