Excerpt from Guide to Practical Work in Elementary Entomology: An Outline for the Use of Students in the Entomological Laboratory of Cornell University One-fourth of the time assigned to Entomology in the courses in which it is a required study in this University is devoted to lectures. In these lectures the more general questions and the greater number of the facts which it is deemed desirable to give the students are discussed. The remaining three-fourths of the time is devoted to work in the laboratory and in the field. In this part of the course it is my desire that the students shall learn how to study Entomology. No effort is made to teach the student facts merely as facts; but it is hoped that each one will learn how to ascertain for himself the truths of Nature. Owing to the limited time which the majority of students can give to Entomology, it is impracticable, even if it were desirable, to follow the so-called Agassiz method; by which a student is at first given a specimen and required to ascertain all that he possibly can, unaided, respecting it. I have in the beginning of the course, after an exposition of the nomenclature used, followed the method adopted by Huxley and Martin in their Elementary Biology. Later, after the student has acquired a knowledge of the terms used in Entomology and of the methods of investigation, subjects are assigned which he is expected to investigate with the minimum of assistance.
