Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Botanic Teachings at the Schools of Victoria: Through References to Leading Native Plants
In submitting the following pages as the first means for introducing the study of plants into our elementary schools, it is incumbent on the writer to explain the reasons, which induced him to adopt for his little work the present form, more particularly as the method of treating his subject deviates widely from the ordinary plan of school-books written for botanical teaching. An experience of nearly forty years has convinced the author, that the use of a grammar-like publication for initiating into a study of plants is alike wearisome to the teacher and children, and that as a rule, subject to rare exceptions, the knowledge acquired from the ordinary first elementary works on Botany is as quickly lost as gained. The only method of rendering such studies agreeable and lastingly fruitful consists in arousing an interest of the young scholars in the native plants of their locality, to afford them all possible facilities to recognise and discriminate all the various plants within reach, to lead them by observations thus started to comprehend the limits of specific forms, of generic and ordinal groups, and to conduct them afterwards to the more difficult study of special anatomy and physiology of plants.
