First Studies of Plant Life is written with a truly heart-warming purpose. Written by a distinguished academic but pitched at a level which is designed to allow a teacher to captivate a child in the earliest years of school. Atkinson takes the view that reasoning and 'why?' questions are suitable and appropriate for even the tiniest children and should not be held in reserve for a later date. It centres on an understanding of the 'life history' of a plant rather than tedious and traditional encouragements to rote learn and exclude context. George Francis Atkinson tells us in a startling modern way that a child does not best learn about a flower by uprooting it, dissecting and classifying it. Rather they should plant a seed, find out how it germinates, watch it grow, learn about its food, see how it breathes, reproduces and ultimately dies back. For as the author states 'When the child has once become acquainted with the conditions and necessities of plant life, how different will the world seem to him.' The book begins and progresses in an intuitive way. It begins with the particular characteristics of seeds and their peculiarities and progresses all the way on to the root systems, the changing colours of the leaves on trees and the bright momentary flowers and bids by plants for pollination and reproduction. Small engaging experiments suitable for independent learners, homeschooling or teachers in a classroom are outlined and encouraged, further tying the book to an inclusive ethos of hands on learning. A child could hardly fail to fall in love with botany when taught from this book but an adult has scarcely more opportunity to avoid being enthralled.

In this book the plant stands before the child as a living being with needs like his own. To live, the plant must be born, must be nourished, must breathe, must reproduce, and, after experiencing these things, must die. Each plant that is grown in the window box of a schoolroom should reveal to the child the secrets and the story of a whole life.

Excerpt from First Studies in Plant Life in Australasia: With Numerous Questions, Directions for Outdoor Work, and Drawing and Composition Exercises This book is meant for boys and girls beginning the study of plant life. It is true that I have given, wherever possible, the reason for the facts stated about plant life: a branch of the subject which is generally kept back for a senior course. I have done this because I believe that the method of keeping beginners exclusively to the facts is false to the principles of true teaching. Anyone may see this who walks into the fields with a child and takes note of the questions he puts. If you tell a child that the leaves of an elm are alternate, stipulate, pinnate, with the blade unequally divided by the mid rib he will soon grow tired but if you lead him below an elm tree and show him that the peculiar shape Of the leaves enables each leaf to catch the maximum of light, he will listen readily. Also, you have given him a key to the meaning of leaves and leaf-form that may bring him to your side with many other eager questions about other leaves. Almost unconsciously he has learned the purpose of a leaf, and this in itself helps him to understand a hundred things in the life of the leaf that were meaningless before. Similarly, if you tell the child that a snapdragon flower is personate and bilabiate, with didynamous stamens and a two-lobed superior pistil he will soon grow tired but if you try to explain to him that the snapdragon's curious mouth is due to the visits of bees, he will listen readily. Also, you have given him a clue to the meaning of a multitude of strange-shaped flowers and the endless variety of form in these flowers no longer bewilders him. It is true that in approaching plant-life in this way we have often to say to the child I do not know. Sometimes, too, we have to give explanations that may need to be revised with larger knowledge. But this is no reason why the child should not have the best answer to his questions that we can give. If the boy Copernicus had not been drilled in the Ptolemaic theory of the heavens, he would have had little chance of finding out the Copernican system.

Excerpt from Plant Life Technical terms, which are the intellectual currency of the botanist, and imply in a single word or phrase what would be explained only in long sentences, have not been entirely avoided. Indeed, the author has been compelled to use a considerable number, but an effort has been made to lead up to their use in easy sequence, and to explain as tersely and clearly as possible what they mean. The glossarial index will assist the reader in discovering where the meanings of terms are explained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Study of Plant Life As a result of the present efforts to raise the standard of education in this country, many different Methods of Teaching are receiving our grave consideration. So insistent are their advocates, that we stand in some danger of forgetting that learning. Rather than teaching, is the essential factor in education. It is not the know ledge given us ready-made by the teacher, but that which we learn, acquiring it by our own efforts, which enters into our being and becomes a lasting possession. Therefore this little book does not pretend so much to teach as to act as a guide along the road for those who desire to learn something about the plants around them; hence it points out how much they can easily see for themselves of the wonderful life and work of the silent plants. It is planned for children, whose quick sympathies are more readily drawn towards the life of things than to the dry facts of morphology or classification. Its Leitmotif is therefore the story of life, and those of its activities which find expression in the plant world. Perhaps it may serve to awaken interest in some older people who have not yet been initiated into these mysteries. As is inevitable, most of the actual facts in this book are already the common property of botanists, though some of the suggested work, such as the mapping, is only now being adopted by the Universities.
