Excerpt from Number Work in Nature Study, Vol. 1: Part I

The introduction of elementary science into the grammar and primary grades of the public schools is destined to mark an important epoch in the history of school-teaching in this country. The scope of the work included under the head of natural science is so great that anything like a general introduction of it into the lower grades will necessitate a thorough reorganization of the course as it has long existed and now stands. The greatest problem at this time, therefore, is one of readjustment, and it is not easily solved; for the present course of study, as usually laid down, is fortified not only in the wisdom, but also in the prejudices and traditions of the past. The reorganization will be accomplished partly by a displacement of some of the studies once considered essential, but chieﬂy by a readjustment of the parts so that the course will form an organic whole.
