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

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
