Excerpt from A Course in Nature Study for Use in the Public Schools
Had these suggestions been adopted at the time they were offered, the education of today would have been far in advance of its present state, and the country schools in Pennsylvania would be turning out classes of enthusiastic scholars, informed and interested in the wonderful phenomena of the natural world in which they have been placed, and which they are endowed with power, to study, use and enjoy.

Excerpt from A Course in Nature Study for Use in the Public Schools
The following Bulletin, giving a course in Nature Study for the public schools, is one of the most important and valuable of all of those which the Department has hitherto published. The course was outlined and prepared by Miss Louise Miller, who for several years had charge of Nature Study work in the schools of Detroit, Mich., and will commend itself to natural history teachers as being not only scientifically accurate and exceedingly suggestive, but as also outlining in a systematic way, a branch and method of education peculiarly adapted to country schools. The study of nature, by observing the things themselves, is the new and rational method of instruction and constitutes what now is known by the modern name, "Nature Study."
This bulletin is intended as a guide to teachers, indicating the subjects adapted to each grade of scholars, and giving the order in which the subject ought to be pursued. An inspection of the work proposed by this course will show how much there is in the vicinity of every country school to interest and instruct in the numerous natural objects, in regard to which the mass of our population have but little knowledge, and which, if properly presented, may be, at least partially understood, by the smallest pupil.
The bulletin is also informal notice to teachers in Pennsylvania that in the near future, such instruction as it outlines, will be required in every country school. Those, therefore, who wish to follow this profession will do well to acquaint themselves with the method here presented, and begin preparation for the work to be performed, so that when their examiners come to question them as to natural objects, whose uses and characteristics they are expected to understand and explain to others, they may be ready to answer intelligently, and satisfactorily perform the duties required.
This is no new fad in education, but is older than the Commonwealth itself. William Penn, near the close of his life, in a work entitled Reflections and Maxims, suggested substantially the method now proposed to be pursued in the education of our youth.
