Excerpt from Applied Economic Botany: Based Upon Actual Agricultural and Gardening Projects

There are already so many text-books on botany that the author has long hesitated to present another to the educational public. The study of botany has developed very rapidly in the past quarter of a century and as a result we have a great variety of text-books representing an almost equally great variety of methods of presenting the subject. Yet, we meet with a continuous series of complaints against the poorly adapted secondary text-books for teaching in secondary schools, technical schools and colleges. The teacher in the secondary school says that text-books are written by college professors who do not understand the problems involved in secondary education the teacher in the technical school complains because the students from the secondary schools cannot correlate the botany with related subjects; the college professors complain because of the mechanical methods used in the secondary schools which discourage rather than encourage further study of the subject by those who enter college.
