Excerpt from Practical Zoology: An Elementary Text-Book Treating of the Structure, Life, History, and Relations of Animals

In most cases where only one of the two biological branches is included in the curriculum of a secondary school, botany is chosen. This is probably due not only to the fact that few teachers have studied zoology, but also to the difficulties incident to the teaching of the subject and the impractical kind of zoology to which too many teachers have been introduced. In many schools the college graduate has inflicted on his pupils in their lower teens the zoology adapted to college students. Laborious dissections, permitting the details of structure to be noted and wearisome drawings to be made, may be of value to the few, but render injustice to many.

The plan of teaching the biological sciences lately in many schools has sacrificed the acquisition of important information and the training of the powers of reflection and expression to the cultivation of the powers of observation and the teaching of drawing. The average individual cares little about the names of the parts of the crayfish's legs or the veins in the wings of insects, but he must be stupid indeed who is not interested in the interdependence of species, the part played by insects in the transmission of disease, the marvelous life history of the creatures with which he comes into daily contact, and the meaning of the animal architecture so common in the crowded city as well as by the unfrequented wayside.
