Excerpt from Laboratory Directions in General Biology
The following laboratory-directions have been prepared for a course in General Biology that extends throughout the collegiate year, and includes work in the laboratory for about six hours each week.
Experience has shown that there are certain practical advantages in beginning with the fern and the earthworm, and that the results are not at all inferior to those that follow from the more logical method of beginning with the simplest organisms.
The plan of this course is similar to that suggested by the "General Biology" of Sedgwick and Wilson; and as the directions have been used with large classes for several years, it is believed that they are entirely practicable.
In determining the amount of work to be done upon each form, an endeavor has been made to include the most important points and at the same time to keep each in its proper relation to the other parts of the course as a whole. But any suggestion of improvements that may occur to any one using the directions would be gladly received by the author.
