Excerpt from Plants: A Text-Book of Botany
Although Plant Relations and Plant Structures have been prepared as independent volumes, chiefly to meet the needs of those schools which can give but one half year to Botany, they form together a natural introduction to the science. With this in view, the simple title Plants seems suitable, with the understanding that this volume is an introduction to the study of plants.
Either part of this combined volume may be used first, according to the views or needs of the teacher. In many cases it may be wise not to observe the order of the book, but to organize laboratory work as seems best, and to assign the appropriate readings wherever they may occur in the volume. The author is a stickler for independent teaching, and would not presume to prescribe an order or a method for teachers. His purpose is simply to offer those facts and suggestions which may be helpful to them in organizing and presenting their work. He would urge that intelligent contact with plants is the essential thing; that a clear understanding of a few large facts is better than the collection of numerous small ones; and that "getting through" should never sacrifice the leisure needed for digestion.
The two parts of this work are indexed separately, and references to indexes are to be made at the end of each part.
