APPENDIX V 



LIST OF SUGGESTED BOOKS OF REFERENCE IN BIOLOGY 



GENERAL BIOLOGY 



1. Cyclopedia of American Agriculture. Edited by L. H. Bailey. 



4 vols. The Macmillan Co., N. Y. City. $20 net. 

 Vol. I, Farms; Vol. II, Crops; Vol. Ill, Animals; Vol. IV, 

 The Farm and the Community. We do not hesitate to say 

 that Vols. II and III of this series are the most valuable 

 books of reference known to us for teachers or students in plant 

 and animal biology. Experts on the many subjects treated 

 have epitomized in a readable form a vast amount of informa- 

 tion which could only be found by patient search through 

 many volumes. If schools cannot purchase these books, 

 teachers might well urge that they be put on the shelves of 

 the public library, for all four volumes will be found of great 

 value as books of general reference, especially in rural com- 

 munities. 



2. Nature Study and Life, by Dr. C. F. Hodge. Ginn and Co. 



$1.20. Contains many suggestions for the teaching of both 

 plant and animal biology. 



3. General Biology, by Sedgwick and Wilson. Henry Holt and 



Co. $1.75. While mainly devoted to a consideration of 

 the earthworm and the fern (both optional topics), this 

 book will give teachers a clear idea of the biology of a plant 

 and of an animal, and of the composition and character- 

 istics of protoplasm. It also contains an admirable account 

 of yeast, bacteria, Amoeba and Paramecium.
