Excerpt from Text-Book of Elementary Zoology, for Secondary Educational Institutions
Teachers of biology are pretty well agreed that the matter and method of our secondary courses in the life sciences should be determined by the needs, capabilities, and life interests of the pupils rather than by any mature conception of what constitutes a "balanced course" in biology. This is to say that the problems of the maker of such a course are pedagogical rather than biological. And yet it is important that the subject should be handled, if possible, in such a way as to give a true and not a distorted conception of biology.
The most distinctive movement of the last decade, in respect to the teaching of Zoology, is the increased insistence on the practical and utilitarian side of animal life and animal relations in our secondary school courses. It is contended that there is so much of biology directly related to the pupil"s life and activities that these aspects of the subject should be emphasized in the peoples schools, and should replace more and more the evolutionary and scientific conceptions which have dominated the books of the past.
