XXVIII.- 



-SCHEDULES FOR EXERCISES ON 

 LEAVES AND FLOWERS. 



The first of these schedules is similar to that de- 

 vised by the late Professor Henslow of Cambridge 

 as a means of training the children of a village school 

 in habits of accurate observation, by examining the 

 structure of flowers. I have added one for leaves, 

 which is even simpler and quite as useful for begin- 

 ners ; it is adapted for trees and shrubs, but may be 

 extended and modified so as to embrace herbs, in 

 which the stem- and root- leaves often differ in shape. 



Blank schedules should be kept in great numbers 

 and freely used by the pupils.
