Abstract
A GOOD many university botany schools have now published their first-year teaching courses as text-books. They vary strikingly in subject, but this may make little ultimate difference as gaps can be made good in the next two years; it may also matter very little whether the wide survey method or intensive study on ‘types’ is used. The student's attitude to his work at the end of the year is what is of fundamental importance.
