Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Animal Life To undertake the study of natural history successfully, enthusiastic interest is necessary, and to arouse such an interest may be considered one of the possible good offices of the volume. The young student who is confronted day after day with a frog, a crab, or a shell, and requested to note its peculiarities of structure as a first lesson, some times may assume that natural history is, after all, very dry and uninteresting, when, had he even a faint conception of the wonderful ways and habits of the animals, he would eagerly embrace the Opportunity for closer investigation.

Download or read book Nature Stories for Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Young Readers: Animal Life The subjects of this series of lessons are mainly such insects or other animals as the children may observe for themselves. The lessons aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals; their methods of home-building and of caring for their young; the transformations they undergo; the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings and the tools with which the various animals are provided. The purpose in attempting to bring these thoughts to the youngest readers is manifold. It is hoped that such readers may become interested, while children, in the abundant life about them, and that when this interest is gratified by learning of the wonderful lives and habits of these little people, a respect for all life may be inculcated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Haunters of the Silences: A Book of Animal Life Such stories, which offer in the form of fiction What my observations have compelled me to regard as fact, I have presented my case already, in the prefaces to The Watchers of the Trails and Red Fox. To those prefaces I would add nothing here; and from the conclusions therein stated I have nothing to retract. I would merely take this occasion to reaffirm with confidence the belief, which I find shared by practically all ob servers whose lives are passed in the closest re lationship with animals, by such vitally inter ested observers, for instance, as keepers, trainers, hunters, and trappers, that the actions of animals are governed not only by instinct, but also, in varying degree, by processes essentially.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Story Book There was a stage in human growth when sym pathy for any one Of another tribe was scoffed at, or even considered criminal. But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the First American Animals In the San Juan region of northern New Mexico are rocks containing bones of dinosaurs similar to those of Hell Creek and Lance Creek. On top of them are more rocks, 800 feet thick, filled with bones of marsupials and a few true mammals, but no dinosaurs whatever, and on the top of this second series are still more rocks, minus dinosaurs and marsupials, and containing only the remains of true mammals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Animal Life In this opening chapter we shall learn something about the Classification Of Animals; or, in other words, about the way in which animals are arranged by men of science. Now, perhaps you will think that this is a very dull and dry subject, and that it cannot be Of interest to those who know nothing about it. But in reality it is not dull at all. Indeed, it is almost as interesting to find out how different animals are related to one another, as it is to learn about their ways and habits; for in doing so we are led to examine their bodily frames, and to notice how wonderfully every part is suited to the life which the animals have to lead. Some of us may think that it cannot be necessary to know anything about this subject, and that anyone who is really fond of animals can study them quite well, without understanding their natural arrangement. But this, as we shall presently see, is a great mistake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Tales: From the Animal World Nobody likes to be always learning something. Even Solomon was fain to say at the end, And much study is a weariness to the flesh. Beef and whole-wheat bread are, undoubtedly, muscle builders, but a delicate pudding, or nuts and raisins, or an ice-cream are very pleasant at the end of a dinner, and with out them we feel defrauded Of something that is the cherished heritage of civilized man. Perhaps education has no better purpose than to create a hunger for knowledge and an absorbing desire to learn; but do you, my grown-up reader, ever feel in such mood that philosophy and abstruse poetry and logic pall upon your intellectual taste? Do you sometimes feel in such' mood that only a fascinating monthly magazine or an absorbing short story is the measure of your receptive powers? Everybody must; everybody does; and children more than any others. Children do grow, sometimes, just a little tired Of plumule and radicle, and vertical lines, and Charles and Mary Lamb; while the teacher and the mother, finding that so much time is needed to explain and illustrate, often feel that the child's reading would be far better if he read much more and they explained much less. I once heard a second grade class in a Chicago school reading an easy {esop's Fables as well as you or I could. How in the world did you get second-year children to read like this? I asked the teacher. By having these delightful books which they like - no, love; for, truly, that is their feeling for these fables, she replied. Not a child ever looks around for something else to do when we read these stories. They scarcely raise their eyes from the page, they are so absorbed in them. They have learned to read because they like to read, -and, really, would like to be reading most of the time, if other books were as interesting as these are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science Readers, Vol. 4: Animal Life It ought not be necessary to present arguments in behalf of science in this scientific age. Many years have gone by since Herbert Spencer first showed the great utility of science as educative pabulum. After a long hard fight science won its way into the colleges and then into the high schools, but how to get some scientific truth into the course in the grammar grades has been difficult to solve. For many years the authors have been at work on this series searching for material not too difficult and still interesting and worth while, and testing it out in the schools. No one familiar with child interests will deny the strong appeal to him of all animal life. Book III, The Baby Animal Zoo, and Book IV, Animal Life, have proven highly inter esting to children of these grades. For Book V we have taken the great inventors whose problems make such fine educative material. If our chief business is to teach children to think, here surely is Splendid subject matter to this end. Moreover, it is biographical, and the science and thinking are cemented to human action and endeavor. The great popularity of general library books on. Invention should convince us that we were tardy in seizing upon this material for classroom use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in Field and Garden N these talks that we shall have together, said Uncle Paul, as he sat with his nephews one eve ning in May under the big elder tree in the garden, I propose to designate as 'friends' those forms of animal life that, though not domesticated or cared for by us, nevertheless come to our aid by waging war on insects and various other devouring creatures which would in the end, unless their excessive multi plication were kept in restraint by others besides ourselves, eat up all our crops and lay waste our fields; and it is these ravagers Of the farmer's care fully tilled acres that I shall speak of as 'foes.' What can man's efforts avail against those voracious hordes, multiplying as they do every year to an extent beyond calculation? Will he have the patience, the Skill, the keenness of vision necessary for waging successful warfare on the tiniest Species, Often the most formidable, when the J une-bug, despite its far greater Size, baffles all his endeavors?
