Excerpt from Lessons in Nature Study The fragmentary treatment of the subjects and the lack of system in their arrangement is designedly carried out to illustrate the method which experience with children points out as the best method in which to proceed. Even at the risk of being monoton ous it is stated now, and will be more than once repeated, that, with the earlier grades at least, the lessons must be fragmentary, on one simple phenomenon at a time, without care for its rela tions, and the lessons should not be successive on one topic, but interspersed with those on different topics. Convenience of treat ment for the teacher's use in the following lessons has led to a continuous account in some cases. In the school work, this should be broken up as suggested. It hardly need be added that the book is designed as an aid to teachers and parents or others directing Nature Study work and not as a Nature Study reader. The chapters under the titles: The Mosquito, Rearing In sects in the School Room, Some Water Insects, How to make a Collection of Insects, About Spiders, How Insects Breathe, and Birds were written by Professor Kellogg, and Professor Jenkins is responsible for the remainder of the book.
