Sinopsis

Excerpt from Nature Teaching: Based Upon the General Principles of Agriculture for the Use of Schools

As it has been found Useful in its original form in the West Indies, it has been suggested that an edition, rewritten and modified to meet the circumstances Of British conditions, may prove acceptable in the mother country. I have, therefore, with the assistance of Mr W. G. Freeman, prepared the present revised edition.

Excerpt from Nature Teaching: Based Upon the General Principles of Agriculture for the Use of Schools

One of the most hopeful features connected with the West Indies is the general movement now taking place in favour of Agricultural teaching.

The West Indian Colonies are wholly dependent on Agriculture, but hitherto no systematic attempts have been made to teach the Elements of Agriculture in such a manner as to win the intelligence and energies of the rising generation in favour of Agricultural pursuits.

The first step taken was to train the Teachers already in charge of Schools and qualify them to give the right kind of instruction, in the lower classes by means of object lessons, and in the upper, in close relation with experiments with plants grown in pots, boxes or school plots. The object aimed at, and clearly impressed on the minds of the teachers was not to load the memory with facts, but to train the powers of observation and give the children an intelligent interest in the every-day facts of rural life.
