Domestic Animals 33 



ANIMAL STUDY FOR OCTOBER 

 OBJECT 



To increase the child's interest in animals. Dogs chosen 

 because of their intelligence, because they are common, and are 

 easily recognized. Use pictures and blackboard drawings. 

 Have at least three dogs visit the school that we may study 

 resemblances and differences. 



Use stories to bring out the dog's characteristics and passions, 

 such as grief, love, sympathy, gratitude, pride, etc., and to 

 inculcate good habits, such as responsibility, courage, obedi- 

 ence, and promptness. 



Results too intangible to put down in black and white, but 

 perceived and felt.
