A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These exercises have been prepared for classes in high schools and other institutions of similar grade, and are intended to indicate, in a general way, the nature of the work that in the judgment of the writer should be undertaken with young people who are just beginning the systematic study of common forms of plant life. They were suggested by frequent inquiries of teachers regarding the preparation in botany now required for admission to the University of Michigan. No originality is claimed for the subject-matter or its treatment, although much time has been spent in the effort to develop a natural and practicable method of approaching the study of living things. While the study of relationship holds the first place, the attention of the pupil is directed at every step to the physiological significance of observed facts; and although this will hardly be approved by those who attempt to separate sharply the domain of morphology from that of physiology, it has seemed to the writer better to follow Nature than be cramped by such artificial barriers. Some of the exercises will perhaps appear too simple and others too difficult, but a judicious selection oit the part of the teacher will do much to correct this.
