Excerpt from Elements of Animal Physiology, Chiefly Human
Animal Physiology is "essentially a Science of Designs and Final Causes." Probably no subject, if taught with even moderate intelligence, can be rendered so interesting, or made to rouse the dormant energies of the intellect of young people, and of those previously untrained in the method of scientific inquiry, as that of Human Physiology. Certainly the study of no other science opens up to the mind so many wonders, solves so many human mysteries, or brings home to the mind so many proofs of the "reign of Law, " and of the wise and beneficent design of this universe, or teaches so many principles which lie at the basis of human health, morals, and well-being, as that of Human Physiology. On these considerations alone, - and many other most powerful ones might be urged, - "Human Physiology" must claim a leading position in any system which professes to educate the people soundly.
Very considerable experience as a Teacher of Physiology, with the youthful and adult of both sexes, has proved to the writer the facility with which the viva voce teaching of Elementary Physiology may be made "perfectly sound and thorough, " when supplemented with the aid of good diagrams, a good text-book, and the free use of the black-board, and of the lungs, heart, kidney, eye, &c., , of the sheep, and of such other objects as may be readily obtained from the butcher, for the illustration of the general structure of the corresponding organs of the human body, while the body of the living frog or tadpole is amply sufficient to illustrate the general phenomena of the circulation and the properties of the living tissues. The teacher should also occasionally dissect a small animal, as a rabbit, recently killed with chloroform, before his class. A Human Skeleton and a cheap Microscope will likewise be found invaluable aids to the earnest teacher.
A general impression prevails, among the candidates presenting themselves at the Government Science Examinations, that it is easier to pass with the same actual knowledge in the Second Class, Advanced Stage, than in the First Class, Elementary Stage.
