Nature Study and Related Literature 



Showing Aims and Plans of Teaching; 

 With Illustrative Lessons 



FOB THE F 1 li S T FOUR GRADES 



By ANNA E. McGOVERN, B. S., 



Prof. Primary Methods, Iowa Sta'e Xorinal School. 



Contents;— The contents of the books are arranged 

 for Pall, Winter and Spring Nature Study and under 

 these headings is a choice selection 0/ poeinri and stories 

 adapted to each season. These are interspersed with 

 talks to teachers concerning the work for each month 

 such as only a successful training teacher can give to 

 classes of student teachers. 



Helps and Sugge.stions:— These talks are full of 

 helpful suggestions, but more inspirational than didac 

 tic. The author has looked upon Nature Study from 

 all sides and sees much more in it than ascertaining 

 and memorizing facts concerning plants and animals. 

 She regards it as a means for the development of the 

 child's ethical and inspirational nature. With this end 

 in view the selections of nature study lessons are ex- 

 ceptionally good and well adapted. 



I think your book the most valuable of its kind I have 

 ever exatiiined.— Fred E. Hansen, Co. Supt. Story 

 County, Iowa. 



Miss McGovern's book will be unusually helpful to 

 every teacher in the county along the line of nature 

 study and language work.— J. C. Thornhero, Co. Supt. 

 Polk County, Iowa. 



Cloth, 386 pp. Price, $1.25. 

 A SPECIAL OFFER: In order to get the book into 

 the hands of as many persons as possible at the earliest 

 time, orders will be filled until May 1st for •! .OO.
