Excerpt from Lessons in Elementary Botany for Secondary Schools There are in general two ways in which the study of Botany may be approached. The first begins with the study of simpler plants, and proceeds systematically to the more complex. The second attempts, first, more familiar forms in their more striking phases, leaving more recondite problems for later inquiry and investigation. Of the two methods, the former has the advantage of being more logical; the latter is certainly more natural, and, in fact, corresponds with the manner in which all science has been developed. In the present volume the second method has been followed. This for several reasons. In the first place, it seems more convenient. The very months when the simpler phases of plant-life are at their best are, by the present arrangement of our school year, practically excluded. But the phenomena presented by the higher plants are at least equally worthy of investigation, and are, as a rule, nearly always accessible. Again, the study of the lower forms of plant-life cannot be carried far without the aid of more or less costly laboratories and appliances; and if the method adopted necessitates the study of such forms, the study of Botany will be restricted to such schools as can afford the requisite apparatus.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Elementary Botany This book has been prepared for use in schools in which elementary Botany is taught during the last half or last third of the school year. It is believed that a course in Botany which is designed for those who are taking their first lessons in the subject and most of whom will not have opportunity to pursue it farther, ought to afford opportunity for scientific training as well as for obtaining some general information concerning the vegetable kingdom, particularly in relation to the growth and development of plants, their relationships, their uses, etc. Accordingly, directions for practical work, observation, and performing experiments have been offered throughout, but in immediate connection with the paragraphs of the text that pertain to the subject in hand. This has not interrupted the proper symmetry and logical arrangement of the topics that should be included in an elementary course for high schools. The practical work indicated need not and should not be a verification of the text; that, it is true, would be an improvement over mere text-book work, but it lacks the very spirit and essential feature of scientific work. The observation and experimentation must be made to find out the facts in the case. This will afford scientific training and, besides, real knowledge will be gained.
