Nature Study 



For Grammar Grades 



A Manual for the Guidance of Pupils below 

 the High School in the Study of Nature 



BY 



WILBUR S. JACKMAN, A.B. 



Dep't of Natural Science, Chicago Normal School 



Author of "Nature Study for the Common Schools," " Nature Study and Related Subjects, 

 " Nature Study Record," " Field Work in Nature Study," etc. 



REVISED EDITION 



In preparing this Manual, it has been the author's aim to propose, within the com- 

 prehension of grammar school pupils, a few of the problems which arise in a thoughtful 

 study of nature, and to offer suggestions designed to lead to their solution. 



That pupils need some rational and definite directions in nature studj', all are gen- 

 erally agreed. But to prepare the outlines and suggestive directions necessary, and to 

 place these within the reach of each pupil, is more than anj^ ordinary teacher has time 

 to do, even granting that she is fully prepared for such work. The utter futility of 

 depending upon oral suggestions during the class hour, when the pupils are supposed to 

 be doing individual work, is easily apparent on a moment's reflection. With a manual of 

 directions in hand, each pupil may be made strictly responsible for a certain amount of 

 work, either in the field or in the laboratory. This removes all occasion for that inter- 

 ruption in his work, which is, otherwise, due to the pupil's attempt to think and at the 

 same time hear what the teacher says.
