A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I ts aim is to put the student in the way of acquiring for himself a knowledge of animal life and structure. It is not intended to supersede the teacher, but rather to relieve him from doing that part of the work for the student which the student should do for himself, and to give the teacher a wider opportunity. It is written in the firm belief that the student will receive that benefit which belongs peculiarly to this study in just so far as he comes into touch with nature through actual contact with facts. The plan presented has been adopted after due deliberation and repeated trial. In the belief that the simplest animal structures are best for illustrating the fundamental ideas of zoology, as well as being easiest understood, four simple types are introduced first. These are for microscopic study, from material to be provided by the teacher, and prepared by him for examination. From the study of these the student may learn the purport of the terms cell, protoplasm, tissue, organ, differentiation, sexuality, etc. With these fundamental ideas mastered, he is prepared to study intelligently any of the higher animals. The novelty of the introductory microscopic work will be a sufficient guaranty of interest in it, and the succeeding work is outlined in accordance with the tastes and in avoidance of the prejudices of the beginner. Insects are taken up next in order, and the most attractive insects are studied first. This is a deliberate but not a purposeless violation of the logical order. Systematic zoology may well be neglected, so long as the student is ignorant of the material to be classified. To start the beginner where the specialist leaves off is an error too often repeated in the teaching of this as of other sciences.
