SIMPLE LESSONS IN THE
STUDY OF NATURE
By I.G. OAKLEY
This is a handy little book, which many a teacher who is looking for meansto offer children genuine nature study may be thankful to get hold of.
Nature lessons, to be entitled to that name, must deal with what can behandled and scrutinized at leisure by the child, pulled apart, and evenwasted. This can be done with the objects discussed in this book; they areunder the feet of childhood—grass, feathers, a fallen leaf, a buddingtwig, or twisted shell; these things cannot be far out of the way, evenwithin the stony limits of a city.
Nor are the lessons haphazard dashes at the nearest living thing; on thecontrary, they are virtually fundamental, whether with respect to theirrelation to some of the classified sciences, or with reference to thedevelopment of thought and power of expression in the child himself.
The illustrations are few, and scarcely more than figures; it is not meantto be a pretty picture-book, yet is most clearly and beautifully printedand arranged, for its material is to be that out of which pictures aremade. It will be found full of suggestions of practical value to teacherswho are carrying the miscellaneous work of ungraded schools, and who havethe unspeakable privilege of dealing with their pupils untrammelled bycast-iron methods and account-keeping examination records.
