To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Then the children repeat, " A skull." Now, it is true that the children here see an object, while its name is given them; but what they learn is the name. They do not learn to observe. I know it is difficult, in a city, to teach the chil- dren of the schools to observe outward facts. Yet much may be done by museums, gardens, and green- houses, in which specimens of plants, minerals, and animals are arranged and classified, as in the great 1 1 6 SELF-CUL TURE. collections in Europe. And, in th...e country, why should not the children be taught to make collections themselves of grasses, fungi, lichens, leaves, bark ; of the different stones and earth; to observe and describe insect!, birds, fishes. I think a text-book might be prepared for the schools, -which should contain de- scriptions of the Mineralogy, Flora and Fauna of New England ; that is, of all the common weeds, flowers, trees, birds, insects, animals, and the geolo- gical formations just around us here. Every child ought to know, first of all, the wonderful creations of God in the midst of which it lives.
