Excerpt from Guide to Nature-Study: For the Use of Teachers The author has undertaken this work in the hope that it may be helpful to those teachers who are struggling in what, to them, is a comparatively new field of study. It is hoped that those, who have not yet taken advantage of the opportunities which N ature-study affords, may be induced to consider the benefits of this subject to the pupil and to the general work of the school. The general purpose of the book is to set forth the true aim of Nature-study and thus to lay the foundation for correct methods in conducting it. In this it will be noted that emphasis is placed on the education of the child through his self - activity and by and through the realities of nature. Part I deals with the Pedagogics of Nature-study. It endeavors to show that the best education can be obtained not by studying man alone - his history, language and literature - nor by studying natural science alone, but by taking a stand, as it were, midway between them, and uniting the two. In other words, it is to be obtained by studying man in relation to his environment - physical, intellectual and Spiritual. Nature-study deals particularly with the child's physical environment, and, if properly conducted, relates this environment to his intellectual and spiritual needs, and thus gives him a higher conception of life.
