Abstract
THIS little volume is a very laudable attempt to form a first guide to the study of Nature for children; the lessons are meant to serve as guides to the intelligent teacher, who should in a half-demonstrative, half-catechetical way, bring the various subjects treated of before the young pupil's mind. Throughout there is no attempt to teach the student that there are a number of different sciences, but the various natural phenomena witnessed in the history of a “summer shower,” in the “burning of a candle,” or the “growth of a plant or insect,” are gradually led up to, the various stages in the story of each being explained as they arise. Teachers must use their personal experience in illustrating their teachings, as based on these lessons, and those who are able to use the chalk and blackboard will find an immense advantage in doing so, as the little student's attention is thereby doubly attracted, and a much greater impression is made upon his mind.
