Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual in Practical Botany Tm; course of botanical study here outlined is intended to give the student a general view of the subject and at the same time to lay a foundation upon which more advanced studies may be built. The outline of classification is to serve as a chart in the practical work in the laboratory. The book is a laboratory manual. The stu dent's first work should be with the practical studies, and these are not necessarily to be taken up in the order in which they occur in the classification. To the writer it seems a good plan to use so much of the classification, morphology, and physiology as are given in these pages as the starting point; to ask the student to read as many of the references given in connection with the various subjects as time per mits, and to require him to embody the results of his reading and practical work in well-considered essays. So pursued, the study of botany provides the means of developing habits of close and accurate observation, of cultivating the reasoning powers, and of teaching the pupil to use clear and correct English, that can scarcely be claimed for any other subject pursued in the schools.
