Excerpt from Introduction to Elementary Practical Biology: A Laboratory Guide for High-School and College Students Students, particularly those of the natural sciences, are no longer satisfied to receive didactic instruction, but want the training which will fit them for investi gatien. In Biology it is the custom to furnish such training by having the student verify the facts acquired by professional investigators. The methods of teach ing now in vogue for elementary classes are methods of instruction rather than of education. The student gets the most of his knowledge from books or from lectures, and very little from specimens. When thrown upon his own resources, as when called upon to examine some natural object and to describe it in his own language, he is entirely powerless. If he can find in some book a description of the object, he may, perhaps, be able to verify it, and, using that in the book as a pattern, to write a description of his own.
