10 NATURE STUDY AND AGRICULTURE 



Nature Study Method. To meet this difficulty a course 

 in nature study method appears to be desirable, and the 

 following chapters are designed to furnish a guide to such 

 a course. The essential part of the course itself, how- 

 ever, is not in a book, but is in the handling of the actual 

 materials, outdoors or in the schoolroom, with actual 

 classes, and by methods in which the immediate condi- 

 tions, rather than the dictum of any book, will be taken as 

 guide.
