Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to Botany
The order of treatment here adopted is first to give a general notion of the world-wide distribution and importance Of plants; then to enable the pupil to see the whole plant as a working machine; then to discuss more in detail the structure and work Of the higher plants, each region of which performs a definite part Of the work of the whole machine; then very briefly to present a general view of the great groups. Although through out the book the plants used as the basis Of study are usually those of common interest, a few of the most practical topics, such as timber and forestry, weeds, plant breeding, and the plant industries, are given separate treatment, with as much detail as is possible in a brief course. The structure, functions, and ecological relations of plants are presented throughout the book in a synthetic manner.
Questions pertaining to the interpretation and application of different features Of plant life are introduced in the text and at the ends of chapters. Other similar questions raised by the teacher will be found helpful in presenting problems that the pupil should be able to solve in connection with his studies. Such problems help to develop the constant attitude Of inquiry which science attempts to establish.
