A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No tendency seems manifest toward any improvement in this particular. In Michigan, which enjoys a justly high reputation for the excellence of its schools and teaching, even less geology is studied in school than was customary a dozen years ago. No knowledge whatever of this subject is required for entrance into the University of Michigan in the Classical Course, nor in theS cientific Course, nor in the so-called English Course though in the last two courses the candidate is given his option between preparation inC hemistry, Geology, Zoology and Physiology. Of necessity. Physiology, which is generally taught in the schools, is almost always the chosen subject, though next to this stands Chemistry. Practically, therefore, the study of geology in the University begins with the elements in every course. A similar state of things exists in most of our colleges. There is no course where geology is a prerequisite, so that the student on entering may find himself in position to push on to some advanced knowledge of the subject. One would anticipate that a course specifically denominated Scientific, would demand a more extended scientific preparation than the old Classical course, and that a science which has done as much for industry, civilization and culture as geology has, would not fail to be enumerated among the requirements.
