the botany lesson leads 10 questions
on soil. The FIRST muctaiogy lesson
may be an examination OF garden soil,
showing Us composition by gining and
washing. The CHILDREN may after using
stones tor lesson on color, hardness,
form, etc, rub them together or break
them IN pieces to make hnc material
THUS geology lesson b. prepared for
For this, @ field lesson b. best, taking
the little ones to the river Or lake to see
what the water is doing or to the rocks
where frost or other effects can be seen.
Zoology may come Ia here with a
lesson on Carihwoums.
The pupilu are now finding the local
10y OF rock and fine soil thus distinguish
ing the hill or mountain from the plain,
and with preparation on direction, can
begin geography.
The influence Of sun and atmosphere
have been noticed already and now may
be connected with a formal lesson IN
astronomy. which eau be made simple
and lull oi interest. The youngest child
has noticed sunrise aud sunset, change
OF seasons and possibly the relative
position OF the sun at midday IN winter
and In summer. Direct observation
upon this phenomenon, and We may
now have our FIRST history lesson.
The lille Of primitive man Is simple
and Therefore adapted TO the under
standing OF children. We have the
Eskimo IN our own country. The
teacher may take the children on an
| imaginary journey 10 u country where
the sun Is much lower than here aud
with the aid OF pictures present the geo.
graphy OF the Arctic regions. Under
skillul questioning, the chlldrcn Will tell
| what must be the material Of the
/ Eskimos house, his tools, what his
food, etc. And they will, u rightly
taught, feel sympathy for that strange
people aud see the hgrulsm Ia their vic.
/ tory over circumstances.
| AT Intervals To- such a course the de.
mand for stories should DC met bymylhs
| or stories adapted to the subject For
example, the myth Of Si8yphus whom
! Apollo condemned 90 go under the
| ocean and roll up stones upon the shore,
which should continually roll back upon
himself, Is appropriate with the geology
| lesson.
In working out this theory OF eoncen
/ lraiion, no set Ol lessons can be planned
to meet the requirements OF every
school, and /, Is best Tor the teacher
to have pcrfcc, freedom TO prepare the
course in each subject according to the
environment
The examples given, Il Is hoped, are
| sufficient to show that II Is no more dili.
cult to present all the sciences 10 young
children than to give them an ordinary
object lesson. the best point Of which
Is missed from lack Of association with
the related subjects OF study.
