Excerpt from First Lessons With Plants: Being an Abridgement of Lessons With Plants; Suggestions for Seeing and Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of Vegetation
Teachers sometimes like to take up the plant as an entirety, before discussing its parts. Familiar plants may be brought before the class, and the difierent parts pointed out, - as stems, roots, leaves, flowers. This is desirable with children, but its usefulness is com mouly not great, except as a brief introduction to more serious observation. The pupil should be taught to see accurately and in detail; and it is always well to lead him to make suggestions as to the meaning and uses of the features which he has seen.
