Synopsis
Excerpt from Through the Year, Book II: February to June; A Supplementary Reader for Third and Fourth Year Pupils, Combining Nature Study, Science, History, Literature
The subject matter follows the months of the year, and is arranged in the order which obtains in the best elementary schools throughout the country.
It becomes natural in these schools to divide the work of the year into month periods, taking for each month the topic which is most seasonable, and for which material can be most easily obtained.
Thus we follow, through the procession of the months, the life of the plant from germination to seed-making; the life history of the moth and butterfly 'the history of 'a little drop of water that within the ocean lay, through all its varied changes into vapor, rain, hail, snow, ice, etc. The winds and their work; also the work of the sun and rain the appropriate history lessons clustering around the lives of the great men whose birthdays we celebrate; and the important national holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Decoration Day, Flag Day, etc.
