1 8 Domestic Animals 



ANIMAL STUDY FOR SEPTEMBER 



OBJECT 



1 To see if the children have pets, and, if so, how they are 

 treated. 



2 To impress kindness to animals. 



METHOD 



1 Have different cats brought that the children may see 

 the salient characteristics of the family versus the accidental, 

 as size, color, etc. 



2 Emphasize the use and adaptability of each organ, rather 

 than to simply notice the organs themselves. 



3 Songs, games, stories, rhymes, and pictures to add interest 

 and relieve monotony. 



RESULTS 



Much better oral expression from children. 

 More interest taken in school matters by "home people." 

 Better control of muscles; keener powers of observation, and 

 A jolly good time by all oj us.
