Excerpt from The Loose Leaf System of Laboratory Notes, for Guidance in the Dissection and Elementary Study of Animal Types

The twenty-one types of animal life herein treated give the student a brief general survey of the field from Protozoan to Vertebrate. Simi lar treatment is accorded each type. It will be noted that the zoological position of each animal is given (parker and Haswell's classification), that its habitat receives attention, and that there are hints on collecting the material for class study. Details of structure that are very obscure are either omitted, or, if essential, attention is called to them without any attempt at demonstration.

The author is constrained to believe that by reason of their special advantages and a simple and rational treatment of the subject in general, these Notes will commend themselves to teachers of zoology.

Excerpt from The Loose Leaf System of Laboratory Notes, for Guidance in the Dissection and Elementary Study of Animal Types

Instructors in biology very generally direct the laboratory work by means of written or printed guides placed in the hands of the student. These are sometimes hastily prepared for the occasion, and come from the mimeograph or typewriter abounding in misprints and various other errors.

If more carefully elaborated, the sheets furnished the student at various times are not uniform in size and will not fit in with any system of notes which he may be keeping.

The Loose Leaf guides are the results of several years' experience in directing zoological work in high school and college laboratories. The sheets outlining the work on each type of animal are separate, so that they may be incorporated with the student's drawings and notes on that particular type. The recorded information on the subject is thus collected together, not only simplifying at the time the work of studying the specimen, taking notes, and indexing the drawings, but making future reference to the records an easy matter. Then, too, the laboratory guides being thus bound in with the student's notes, do not become scattered or lost.

The instructor who has mastered his subject only fairly well might easily dispense with the use of a regular text book of zoology in connection with these guides. We should study things, not about things. Collateral reading assigned by the instructor and simple lectures or talks on various phases of the particular type of animal life in hand will, however, stimulate and encourage the student to investigation on his own account. The field, the brook, the woods have attractions more for the average student of zoology than any text book on the subject. But he must be so directed or trained that he will learn to see what he looks at and interpret correctly what he sees. A biological survey - classes in botany cooperating - of a small selected area is an excellent plan for developing nature students. As a matter of course, aquaria and terraria ought to form part of the equipment of every zoological laboratory.
