Book Description
"Teachers of nature study and of elementary agriculture are beginning to realize that if these subjects are to have a permanent place in the curriculum they must be something more than a study of book. In the attempt to make the work more practical, emphasis in being placed upon field practicums, observation trips, laboratory exercises and home projects. In connection with such practical work there is need for greater effort to stimulate interest in the recitation and a closer linking of the work of the classroom with the practical work. Inasmuch s a proper use of illustrative materials will do much toward arousing interest and making the subjects of nature study and agriculture more vital, the following pages give suggestions concerning the collection and preservation of insects and other material for use in rural schools." -- p.
