Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nature-Study Review, 1908, Vol. 4: Devoted to All Phases of Nature-Study in Schools
It is extremely doubtful 'whether nature-study in narrow connotation of the past and of far too many schools at present is of any value at all commensurate with the time given to it in the schedule. On the other hand it is Obvious that work which closely relates the daily life and the school life, which uses the objects and phenomena of the environment as educational material has a value so high that it can scarcely be over estimated. These values can be secured only through the orderly and logically progressive training of the senses - the external organs of relation; by at least keeping functional these powers upon the strength, rapidity and precision of which so much of self-reliance and initiative ultimately depend.
