IN NATURE-STUDY TELLING IS NOT TEACHING. 



// a teacher knows a fact in nature's realm she is then in a position 

 to lead her pupil to discover this fact for himself. 



Nature-study lessons are far more effective zvhen the pupil is so 

 interested that he is unaware that he is learning a lesson. 



Some teachers may give a live nature-study lesson from a stuffed 

 specimen, and some others may stuff their pupils zvith facts about a live 

 specimen; of the two the former is preferable. 



The test of truest success of a nature-study lesson is that it leaves 

 the pupil zvith a keen interest in the subject. The point of higJiest interest 

 should follozv instead of precede the lesson.
