Abstract
THE schoolmaster in the country is just now very much in want of a text-book to guide him in giving that kind of instruction which is variously termed “nature knowledge” or “rural economy”; such elementary observation and reasoning applied to common things, as will stimulate the child's mind and yet serve as an introduction to agriculture or horticulture later. Mr. Murché was ready with two text-books very soon after the circular from the Board of Education in 1900, and now comes forward with two more for senior children, a reading book for school use and a parallel series of object lessons set out for the teacher's benefit.
