Excerpt from A Primer of Botany
Other teachers may feel, too, that the Primer strikes ambitiously into profound depths unsuited to small, un reasoning minds, as if one should read Spencer in the nursery. The truth, however, will generally bear telling. It is an injustice to the childish intellect to teach it botany superficially, and it is a strange error to encourage it by silence about other series of facts, at any rate - to consider the complex plants we see about us as the im portant whole of the vegetable kingdom and to relegate the families of blights, rusts, smuts, and moulds to a limbo Of uncertainties and insignificance.
The writer begs the teacher who tries this Primer to believe that the system of tests and reviews and the selec tion of materials are not considered finalities Of arrange ments. The aim of this work is to be suggestive. In most cases the practical studies can be bases of original outlining. The material used has been taken from text books designed for Older pupils, and has been simplified to bring botany into the reach of primary grades.
