Abstract
THERE is no doubt that nature-study ought to take an important place in education, but, if it is to be of use, it must be set about in the right way. If the boy is merely told certain wonderful facts, he swallows them as a whale swallows small fry, and waits open-mouthed for more. They are soon forgotten, he acquires no good mental habit, and the net result is very small.
