Excerpt from Lessons on Familiar Philippine Animals, Vol. 1: Part One

Of first importance is to have the specimen in each case, and where not possible to obtain it I believe the lesson might better be omitted. An effort has been made to use only such forms as are general throughout the Archipelago, and if not in the vicinity the specimen can usually be found in a neighboring town.

Departing from custom I have begun with the higher forms of life, primarily, because few schools are supplied with the apparatus necessary to work among the simpler life forms, so what is done must be of a nature only to require the unaided eye. Again, interest must be awakened, and that will not come if the beginning work is on matter which is beyond the comprehension of the pupil.
