Excerpt from Common Animal Forms
This little book is the outcome of ten years' experience in teaching elementary science. It embodies the outlines of what I have found it wise to attempt with children, and is offered to teachers with the hope that it may prove suggestive and helpful. A special effort has been made to remove stumbling-blocks, by explaining points of structure that are likely to be puzzling, by giving minute directions for procuring and handling specimens, and by providing simple outline drawings that can be quickly copied upon the blackboard by one who has little artistic talent.
In general, the lessons are composed of two parts, - one in coarse type, consisting of short, clear statements of children's observations, frequently in their own words, with the facts that a teacher must sometimes supply in order to make a lesson complete in essential points; the other in finer type, containing directions for the teacher and additional facts, many of which the older children can be led to discover for themselves. In some of the lessons full illustrations have been given of the method of guiding pupils' observations by questions, which it has not been thought necessary to repeat in the study of every type, though the plan remains the same in all.
