Excerpt from Observation Lessons on Plant Life: A Guide to the Teacher, a Two Year's Course of Nature Study

The following lessons are addressed in an informal manner now to the teacher and now to the pupil. The reasons for such irregular style are as follow - Playful phraseology is out of place in a teacher's book; but as his mere tool we feared this work would dismally fail to interest even himself. On the other hand, to address the pupils only and never the teacher would have meant producing a reader, and setting the children to think about commas and full stops and the meaning of words, when they ought to be asking questions and making discoveries concerning actual objects under observation.

Bailey, in his Lessons on Plants for American school children, is the only author, so far as we are aware, who as yet has written on our own lines; but his book not only deals With some unfamiliar plants, but it presupposes much greater intelligence than is ordinarily evinced by English country children. His questions sound, even to grown-up ears, like a series of riddles.
