Abstract

(1) THE lively book by Messrs. Peabody and Hunt strikes a modern educational note, for the primary emphasis is placed on practical values. It is intended as a guide to school-teachers. Animals are discussed in order to throw light on the biology of human life, in order to help towards healthy living. Everyday functions get a prominent place; bees, mosquitoes, and flies come to the front; the discussion of birds and fishes leads on to the question of their conservation; the Protozoa are used to illumine man's cellular processes; bacteria receive much attention. Precise practical work is, of course, insisted on as a discipline, and many of the conventional tasks are included. But there are as many which have a fresh practical turn.
