Abstract
IN the lower standards of Elementary Schools the children are given various occupations, such as plaiting, crayon drawing, and macrami work, having for its object the training of the hand and eye. The collections of plant and animal studies now before us have been arranged for this purpose, and they will afford the young pupils for whom they are intended both pleasure and instruction. Each collection consists of a series of twelve original designs, simply coloured, and a series of twelve outline drawings for colouring with crayons or paints. From the fruit studies the children will learn a few details concerning common fruits; and the animal studies, containing coloured drawings of queen, male and neuter bees, the development of the frog, and similar subjects will be of value in interesting the pupils in natural history.
