WORK IN BOTANY.
(By Student Of the High schocl)
since Christmas we have spent our
time on the microscopic study OF some
81 the lower plants and the cellular
structure OF the higher plants such -
the corn. pink. pea. poplar, wandering
Jew plant. smilax. gcfanium ana re"
others.
We study all these by examining
them closely under n mngnifying lens
and then under the higher power mt
cfoscopc. taking notes of everything We
See. We learn the names OF the dif-
fcrent parts and their use to the plant,
anu are then required to write ruiz
notes describing what We have studied
among the lower forms % plant life
We have studied. are some of the small

fruit bearing and the non.fruit bearing
and the formation ana growth OF the
spores which make the new plants the

those which conduct the sap and those
which make new cells. Under the
guidance OF our faithful and efficient
utructor. Miss Stokes. We have dis

teacher, We learned how the different
plants began to grow.
We have STUDIED the different bion-
SONS on some trees.
In the entire study Of botany the
classes are forced. In a large measure.
To md things out for themselves. The
principal part OF the work II the direct
study from real specimens. A text

the true plant Itself that tho greatest
and only lasting benefits are derived
Notes are taken and drawings made Of
every specimen studied. thus fixing IN
our minds the true purpose OF our
work.
