Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Is The Result Of A Long Experience In The Teaching Of Botany And Especially Of Seven Years Of Effort To Develop An Introductory Course That Would Give Students A Broad View Of The Subject And Enable Them To See Its Problems And Appreciate The Importance Of The Solution Of These Problems. The First Step In Developing The Course Was The Arranging Of Laboratory And Field Work. The Second Was The Working Out Of The Classroom Discussions So That The Class Work And The Actual Work With The Plant Materials Would Run Parallel And Supplement Each Other.Suggestions And Ideas For Guidance In The Selection Of Subject Matter Have Been Derived From Four Sources. The First Of These Is The Traditional Course In General Botany. This Embodies The Facts And Principles Which Most Botanists Agree Are Essential For A Foundation In The Subject, And These Are To Be Retained Unless There Is Definite Reason Why They Should Be Set Aside.The Second Source From Which Suggestions As To Subject Matter Have Come Is The Large Body Of Men Engaged In The Teaching Or Practice Of Horticulture, Agriculture, And Forestry. These Workers In The Applied Fields Of Botany Are The Men Who More Than Any Others Use Information Concerning Plants, And Certainly A Course In General Botany Should Afford A Foundation For Their Courses And Their Practice. A Third Source Of Suggestions And Criticism Is The Students To Whom The Course Has Been Given. The Questions They Have Asked, The Relative Interest They Have Manifested In Different Kinds Of Subject Matter, And Their Responses To Various Methods Of Pre¬Sentation Have Furnished A Valuable Basis For Evalu¬Ating Ideas And Suggestions From The First Two Sources.A Fourth Set Of Suggestions Has Come From The Questions Asked By The Public. These Inquiries Are Usually Very Practical. Often They Are Unanswer¬Able, But An Introductory Course Should Enable A Student Either To Answer Many Of Them Or To Find The Information That Is Called For.The Selection Of Subject Matter, However, Is Only One Of Two Important Elements In Presenting Any Science Course. Equally Important Is The Efficient Use Of The Time Given To Field And Laboratory Exercises, Which After All Are The Heart Of The Course. Textbooks May Furnish A Fund Of Information That Will Conserve Time In The Classroom, But It Is The Work In The Field And The Laboratory That Tests The Ability And Insight Of The Student, And Makes Real (Or Sometimes Unreal) Classroom And Textbook Statements. The Use Of The Field And Laboratory Time For The Answering Of Questions And The Solving Of Problems, Rather Than For The Making Of Detailed Drawings, Has Changed The Attitude Of Students Toward Laboratory Work. It Has Also Made It Possible To Cover A Far Greater Range Of Materials And Principles Than Formerly, And To Give The Student With A Scientific Mind As Good A Chance As The Student With An Artistic Hand. Preference Is Given To Use The Laboratory And Field Periods Not For Drawing Exercises But For Study And Recitation In The Presence Of The Materials. Throughout The Book The Author Has Tried To Avoid Purposeful Explanations And Words Implying Such Explanations. Teleology Answers All Questions By The Easiest Method, And Closes The Mind Of The Student To The Means By Which Scientific Expla¬Nations May Be Discovered. It Is An Inheritance From The Dark Ages And Should Be Eradicated From The Laboratory And Classroom. Students Should Learn At The Very Beginning That Plant Phenomena, So Far As We Now Know, Take Place In The Plant In Accord With The Laws Of Physics And Chemistry; That They Do Not Happen Because Of Some Alleged Purpose Any More Than Hydrochloric Acid Unites With Soda In Order To Form Table Salt. If Certain Phenomena And Structures Eventuate To The Advantage Of The Plant, Well And Good. There Are Many That Do Not! And Neither The Advantageous Nor The Disadvantageous Should Be Cited As A Cause.The Book Will Be Found Of Great Interest By The Students Of Botany, Researchers And The General Readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Textbook of Botany for Colleges This book is written in recognition of the fact that to nearly all college students an introductory course in Botany is part of a general education, and not a preparation for a professional botanical career. The distinction is important because our existent courses are largely adapted, even though unconsciously on our part, to the latter end. The needs in the two cases are not the same, though the difference is less in matter and method than in proportion and emphasis. All students alike need that personal contact with specific realities, and that exercise in verifiable reasoning, which laboratory courses render possible. Knowledge, however, is valuable to the specialist in the proportion to its objective importance, but to the general student in the accordance with its bearing on the actions and thoughts of mankind. In the one case the demands of the science are paramount and in the other the interests of the student. This aim to provide for the general rather than the special student will explain certain characteristics of the book, - notably its emphasis upon the larger and more evident phenomena, its attention to the interpretation or " principle" of things, and its full consideration of man's relation to plants. Indeed, the book may be described as an attempt to present and interpret the humanly important aspects of plant nature in the light of our modern scientific knowledge. For the same reason the book is deliberately conservative, and adopts only such statements and views as have passed the test of wide criticism, and attained to the impersonal, and non-institutional, validity of science.
