Book Description
Excerpt from The Aims and Methods of Nature Study: A Guide for Teachers The aim of this book is entirely practical in the sense that the classroom and its needs have been reckoned with throughout. It is a book intended to assist teachers of Nature Study, and sets before them the ideals which the author after a number of years' experience has come to regard as the most worthy. The value of the work is enhanced by the inclusion of an Introduction by Professor J. Arthur Thomson, whose approval of the educational soundness of its aims and methods constitutes an authoritative recommendation of importance, and one which is sincerely appreciated by the author. Besides setting forth educational ideals the work offers guidance in the' planning of courses in keeping with these; by means of fairly numerous and varied illustrations it suggests methods of teaching and generally indicates the best means which in the opinion of the author tend to the attainment and maintenance of efficiency in this subject. In the Courses framed and in the notes given elsewhere, in Chapters XXV., XXVI, and XXVII., the require ments of teachers in training for Rural School work in Scotland have been kept in view. To this extent practical values of Nature Study have been borne in mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
