Synopsis

Excerpt from The Teaching Botanist: A Manual of Information Upon Botanical Instruction; Together With Outlines and Directions for a Comprehensive Elementary Course

IT is plain to all who read the Signs of the times that we in these days are seeing the beginning of a great movement toward the introduction of the Sciences into general Education. The chief obstacle to their rapid utilization, however, next to the conservatism of educa tional bodies, is the widespread ignorance of how to use them economically. In their modern form they are too new, and their advance has been too rapid, to let them grow gradually into the framework of our educational system, and they are forcing themselves in upon it from the outside. It becomes, therefore, a problem, and a difficult one, how best to assimilate them with what is already there, and as well how to present them in their optimum value and with the greatest possible economy. This book is an attempt to face squarely these issues for the Science of Botany.
