CINCINNATI . CHICAGO * * * * * A Laboratory Manual in Practical Botany For use in Secondary Schools and for Elementary Work in Colleges By CHARLES H. CLARK, A.M., D.Sc., Principal of Windsor Hall School, Waban, Mass. Cloth, 12mo, 272 pages. Illustrated 96 cents The course of botanical study outlined in this book is intended to give the student a general view of the subject, and at the same time to lay a foundation upon which more advanced studies may be built. The book is primarily a laboratory manual and follows the method recommended by the Committee of Ten and employed by the best teachers. So pursued, the study of botany provides the means of developing habits of close and accurate observation and of cultivating the reasoning powers that can scarcely be claimed for any other subject taught in the schools. It provides a systematic outline of classification to serve as a guide in laboratory work and in the practical study of the life histories of plants, their modes of reproduction, manner of life, etc. The treatment is suggestive and general to adapt it to the courses of study in different schools, and to allow the teacher to follow his own ideas in selecting the work of his class.
