The author wishes again to emphasize the fact that this volume 

 is not intended as a text-book from which recitations are to be 

 made, but as a bundle of suggestions for teacher and pupil. He 

 does not expect that the conditions will ever occur in which all the 

 subjects can be taken up in the order and method here set forth. 



2. BOOKS 



Every school, however humble, should own a few books to which 

 the pupils may have access. There are many good books about plants 

 which will be helpful to both teacher and pupil in pursuing the 

 suggestions contained in this volume ; but the teacher should bear 

 in mind the important principle that the pupil should have the 

 plant before he has the book. Having seen the object and derived 

 a concrete impression from it, he may go to books to verify his 

 observation and to widen his knowledge. Various books upon specific 

 subjects have been mentioned in the text, in paragraphs :
