The First Book of Botany (Classic Reprint): A Practical Guide in Self-Teaching, Designed to Cultivate the Observing and Reasoning Powers of Children - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Book of Botany
But the present book has a still stronger claim to attention; it develops a new method of study which is designed to correct that which is confessedly the deepest defect of our current education. This defect is the almost total lack of any systematic cultivation of the observing powers. Although all real knowl edge begins in attention to things, and consists in the discrimination and comparison of the likenesses and differences among objects; yet, strange to say, in our vaunted system of instruction there is no provision for the regular training of the perceptive faculties.
