of Michigan 



523 Pages. 446 Illustrations $1.10. 



Science, February 18, 1898 : " It is new in matter, in illustrations, and in methods. 

 Its greatest value will be in affording stimulating suggestions to both teacher and pupil in 

 primary and secondary schools. When we look at the treatment we find a newness and 

 freshness which tell of the master who wrote the suggestive pages." 



Botanical Gazette, 1898 : " The methods which are suggested to teacher and pupil in 

 this volume are the proper ones, beyond question ; there are no others which can be called 

 teaching." 



American Naturalist, 1898 : " This book is interesting from beginning to end. Its style 

 is clear and often remarkably vivid. Throughout the work the fact is kept constantly 

 before the mind that plants are not fixed and unchangeable objects, but very plastic, 

 gradually changing with changing conditions. No text-book ever written is more success- 

 ful in this respect." 



LABORATORY PRACTICE FOR BEGINNERS 



IN BOTANY 



By WILLIAM A. SETCHELL, Ph.D. 



Professor of Botany in the University of California 

 12mo. 199 Pages. 90 cents. 



E. L. Morris, Director of Botany in the Washington High School, Washington, D.C.: 

 " Eight months of constant comparison of Setchell's ' Laboratory Practice in Botany' with 

 all laboratory guides in Botany so far published, convinces me that this little guide is the 

 only one suitable for secondary schools, where the expense of large outfits, the salaries of 

 specially trained teachers, the length of courses suitable for technical work, are impossible. 

 Such conditions are those of by far the majority of the public high schools of this country." 



Charles C. Ramsay, Principal High School, Fall River, Mass. : " I have examined with 

 pleasure Setchell's ' Laboratory Practice for Beginners in Botany,' and it seems to me to be 

 a valuable aid to teachers of botany in secondary schools. Its arrangement is admirably 

 systematic, and its requirements of observation and written record by the pupils are suffi- 

 ciently exhaustive and scientific for the grade of schools for which the book is designed. 

 It is a good book, and should have a wide sale."
