Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Trees in Twenty-Four Lessons This book is to help children to study Nature, not to put book study instead of Nature Study. The object of the book is to direct and stimulate both observation and reflection. Many teachers have lately found in trees a convenient topic for lessons, one that can be pursued in town or country, summer or winter, indoors or out-of-doors. There may be other teachers who would gladly give their pupils some training in Nature Study, although they themselves do not pretend to have special knowledge. Such an acknowledgment of ignorance is itself a qualification for one who, an enquirer himself, would lead others to enquire. The use of this book will be found greatly simplified by its arrangement into 24 lessons, each complete with its own practical work. In setting additional questions, it should be remembered that children are apt to answer observation questions correctly without using their brains more than they can help. The questions therefore, should be framed so as to evoke thought as well as observation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
