246 The Nature-Study Idea 



would advise for grammar or other school work. 

 Every teacher ought to have the nature-study 

 outlook to keep him young and interested in 

 life, but we all recognize that relatively few 

 of them have it. Every pupil should have 

 nature-study, under one name or another; but 

 he should receive his inspiration from the 

 teacher who himself is so full of the subject 

 that he teaches with spirit and with cheerfulness. 

 After a time, we shall not need to argue for 

 nature-study. Teaching must in the end be 

 natural.
