This book is in large measure a companion volume to 

 the present text-book, embodying the same methods and 

 the same general materials. The first part consists of a 

 series of descriptive essays upon matters important in 

 botanical education, notably the educational value of the 

 different phases of Botany, the characteristics of good 

 botanical teaching, scientific drawing and exposition, the 

 planning and equipment of laboratories, the preparation 

 of museum and other collections, botanical books, with 

 bibliography, and current errors which should be avoided. 



The second part contains suggested outlines, with full 

 practical directions for a general or introductory course in 

 accordance with the results of the best recent experience. 

 Detailed information is given concerning physiological 

 experimenting. In an Appendix are reprinted the two 

 syllabi prepared by the Botanical Society of America, 

 and the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of 

 the North Central States. The book is thus concerned 

 directly and practically with the problems which face the 

 teacher of an introductory course in Botany, whether in 

 school or college.
