Excerpt from The Teaching Botanist: A Manual of Information Upon Botanical Instruction; Together With Outlines and Directions for a Comprehensive Elementary Course
IT is plain to all who read the Signs of the times that we in these days are seeing the beginning of a great movement toward the introduction of the Sciences into general Education. The chief obstacle to their rapid utilization, however, next to the conservatism of educa tional bodies, is the widespread ignorance of how to use them economically. In their modern form they are too new, and their advance has been too rapid, to let them grow gradually into the framework of our educational system, and they are forcing themselves in upon it from the outside. It becomes, therefore, a problem, and a difficult one, how best to assimilate them with what is already there, and as well how to present them in their optimum value and with the greatest possible economy. This book is an attempt to face squarely these issues for the Science of Botany.

Excerpt from The Teaching Botanist: A Manual of Information Upon Botanical Instruction; Together With Outlines and Directions for a Comprehensive Elementary Course
IT may appear at first sight that the title of this work is of wider scope than its contents. Addressed broadly to the teaching botanist, and professing to serve as a manual of information upon botanical instruction, it nevertheless deals chiefly with one phase of botanical teaching; namely, with its elementary presentation as a science. Yet in this it represents the actual condition of the problems in botanical teaching at the present day. On the one hand, our university and advanced college teaching, carried on as investigation or in that spirit, represents a well-nigh ideal relation of teacher to student; and on the other, the botanical part of nature study in the lower schools has hardly yet begun to attract the attention it deserves. It is just between these two, between advanced college and lower school work, that is, in elementary courses in Botany treated as a science, whether in high school or college, that the present problems lie. Here is the real centre of discus sion, effort, and advance in botanical teaching to-day.
This part of botanical teaching is now in a state of wonderfully rapid expansion and transition. Three causes are contributing to this result: first, the natural reaction from its former extreme backwardness second, a widening recognition of the value of the sciences, of which Botany is a leading one, in general education.
