There is a suspicion in the minds of some science teachers, to whom nature-study is as yet only a name, that its promoters wish it to take the place of science in secondary schools. Not only do we believe that this is entirely unfounded, but we hold most strongly that while all children should take part in nature-study, such work will be greatly strengthened if it be followed by definite courses of scientific training. On the other hand, as practical teachers, we have found that nature-study is the best possible preparation for the mind towards grasping the essentials of scientific method. In the case of elementary schools, however, it is questionable whether the scholars, as a rule, stay there long enough to be able to do any scientific work. It is not surprising, therefore, that the importance of introducing nature-study into these schools, and of encouraging infor
