DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Nature Study Course The introduction of nature study as a subject Of the school course is an effort to meet, in part, these changed conditions. Through the school garden the activities of the child are brought into play. In the study of nature he is led to consider the materials and processes of social life. His powers of observation are stimulated, and his study of the lower forms of life has the effect of broadening his sympathies for life in general. In spite, however, of the fact that nature study now holds an established place in the school curriculum, there are still those among the public, and even among the teaching profession, who consider its introduction as a formal subject of study to have been unnecessary. In reply it may be said that in general the best teach ers in the past have taught nature study, even before its formal introduction. The fact is indisputable that literature, composition, geography, and drawing, can not be properly taught except by means of nature study. Whether formally prescribed or not, it must be taught; and it is, one may be certain, from the most inefficient teachers that the greatest objection is sure to come. So-called teachers, who follow only the bare letter of the curriculum, are sure to object to any innovation as a probable addition to their work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK. Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
