42 THE NATURE-STUDY IDEA 



living and accurate knowledge of some small 

 part of it, teach ! Your reputation is not to be 

 made as a geologist or zoologist or botanist, but 

 as a teacher. When beginning to teach birds, 

 think more of the pupil than of ornithology. 

 The pupil's mind and sympathies are to be 

 expanded: the science of ornithology is not to 

 be extended. Remember that spirit is more 

 important than information. The teacher who 

 thinks first of his subject teaches science; he 

 who thinks first of his pupil teaches nature-study. 

 With your whole heart, teach ! 



Do not be afraid of the Integument-Man.
