Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lessons in Botany
Part I. Physiology. This deals with the life processes of plants, as absorption, transpiration, conduction, photosynthesis, nutrition, assimilation, digestion, respiration, growth, and irritability. Since protoplasm is fundamental to all the life work of the plant, this subject is dealt with first, and the student is led through the study of, and experimentation with, the simpler as well as some of the higher plants, to a general understanding of protoplasm and the special way in which it enables the plant to carry on its work and to adjust itself to the conditions of its existence. This study also serves the purpose of familiarizing the pupil with some of the lower and unfamiliar plants.

Excerpt from Lessons in Botany
Until recent years the prevalent method of teaching botany in the secondary schools, and in the first courses in many colleges, has been based on the "analysis" of flowers. The method had its impetus in the study of systematic botany pursued with such vigor by the pioneers of the science in America. The great progress in our knowledge of the morphology and physiology of plants during the last quarter of this century has changed the whole problem of elementary instruction in botany, and led to almost universal dissatisfaction with the old method of secondary instruction in this subject. It is now generally recognized that a study of the lower plants, like the algæ, fungi, liverworts, mosses, and ferns should form a part of a course of secondary education in botany.
To meet this end a number of books have sprung into existence during the past few years. If the need for some guidance in the selection of topics, and an outline of the character of the study, could be met by number alone of books, this want would be fully met in the new treatises recently published, and there would be no place for the present book. But a judicious selection of a few forms to illustrate function, process, and relationship throughout the wide range of plant life, and the training in logical methods of induction, and accuracy of drawing conclusions, is vastly more important in its influence on the character of the pupil, even though he forget all about the plants studied, than the handling of a great variety of objects, and the drawing of haphazard conclusions, which are left to the pupil in a large number of cases by the methods pursued in many of the recent elementary works.
