Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature-Study Review, Vol. 3 The botany of the high school should be the systematic general survey of the vegetable kingdom, beginning with the simplest and most easily understood forms, and passing from these step by step through the intermediate forms to the highest. This can only be done by intensive laboratory work, in which the pupil makes out for himself as many of the structural details as is possible in the time allotted to him for the work. In such work the pupil should no more be sent out to get his own material than should the pupil in chemistry be ex pected to collect from the drug stores, the gas works, the factories, the rock piles, and the earth strata, the substances that he is to ana lyze in the chemical laboratory. In no general course in chemistry today is such a procedure allowed. There are special courses in chemistry in which this field work, as it may be called, is not only permissible, but highly desirable. And so it is in botany. In the general courses the pupil must have his material supplied to him in such quantities and at such times that he may make his studies in their right sequence and with no delay. This in brief should be the work of the pupil in high-school botany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
