Présentation de l'éditeur
Thb course of botanical study here outlined is intended to give the student a general view of the subject and at the same time to lay a foundation upon which more advanced studies may be built. The outline of classification is to serve as a chart in the practical work in the laboratory. The hook is a laboratory manual. The students first work should be with the practical studies, and these are not necessarily to be taken up in the order in which they occur in the classification. To the writer it seems a good plan to use so much of the classification, morphology, and physiology as are given in these pages as the starting point; to ask the student to read as many of the references given in connection with the various subjects as time permits, and to require him to embody the results of his reading and practical work in well-considered essays. So pursued, the study of botany provides the means of developing habits of close and accurate observation, of cultivating the reasoning powers, and of teaching the pupil to use clear and correct English, that can scarcely be claimed for any other subject pursued in the schools. The length of time given to the study of botany differs widely in different schools. It has been the writers intention to provide a course that may be made very elastic. If the time is short or the pupils immature, the teacher should exercise judgment in selecting portions of the book for use. The fact that other work is here included, need not stand in the way of using the book for very elementary courses. An elementary course might be made up, for instance, from the Preliminary Studies and the Practical Studies onO scillaria, Vaucheria, Protococcus, Spyrogyra, Chara, Fucus, Mucor, Yeast, Penicillium, Toadstools, Marchantia, Polytrichum, Pteris, and selected portions of the work on the higher plants, omitting the more difficult observations under
