NATURE STUDY IN THE SCHOOLS.

For mary years it has been one of

my constant regrets that no school- maser of mine had a knowledge of' natural history, so tar atleast, as to have taught me t`;ie grasses that grow oy the wayside, and t'ie little winged and Wingless neighbors that constantly meet me with a salutaiion that I cannot answer as things are. Why didn’|. somebod. teach me the constellations too, and make meat home in the starr

and which I don’t half know to this dey. -Tnoitas CuiLri.i~:.

The~regret of Carlyle may stiil be

felt by those who pass through the schools of this Province. In Carlyle’s day little thought had been given to the subject by the farmers of common school “Courses of Study” since the great, advances have been made throughout the civilized world. The educational authorities, the oountribe of Europe. the States of the Union to the south of us, and' of the Provinces of the Dominion. with the exception of this province. have made marked advances in the direction of the teaching of the natural sciences in the public schools.

Why is not more attention being

given to this subject in our schools 2 We propounded this question to one interested in educational matters in this province, and received this re- ply. “The teachers as a whole knew y nothing about th`e'subjec`t,“ and ' no adequate provision-is made in _Prince .f Wales College, .where our teachers

the natural sciences.

Leaving the correctness of this

reply to be decided by the educational authorities, we are forced to con- ,clude from the testimony of those who

‘ there is _need of much more attention

any argument in this the closing years of the nineteenth century as to the importance of a. knowledge of the natural forces in operation around us or to the intellectual value of such studies, as well as the monetary value arising from such knowledge.

Will our educational authorities

arise to the occasion, and see that the pupils passing from our schools in the future will not have occasion to re-

being paid to this subject. ` I It is surely unnecessary to advance

less enlightened as to the importance of this knowledge. These suggestions

to create some interest in these mat- ters, but a. still more potent influence would be to stir up some measure of enthusiasm among the teachers. “As sy-the teacher so is the school,” is a truth, and as is the attitude of the teacher towards this subject so will be the success or non-success of an ar.- tempt to make a study of the natural sciences more general in our schools.

If a more prominent place were

given these subjects in the require- ments for teachers’ licenses, and might we add an improved method of teaching these subjects to students preparing for teachers. There would then be a class of teachers better qualiiied for this work, But what about those already teaching 'l Many of those would gladly improve them- selves if they saw that authorities were interested in the matter. If suflicient inducements were offered there would not be any, question as to the action of the teacher.

When this question confronted the

educational authorities of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick they established

a Summer School which has during, - . ` '_ A . ' | the past thirteen years touched the ' 1 ' ' ' " ` _

centres of those provinces. = 3,

The same thing might be done here 0

if the barbarous -practice of spring and autumn holidays were abolished and midsummer holidays substituted, and the leaders in education put their heads together. What would be better-because bringing into con- tact with our teachers greater know- ledge and experience than they them- selves possess, would be an affiliation with the Summer School of Science already established. Another advan- tage of this aliiliation, and one that should not be without weight, is that it would be cheaper both to the Government and the individual teacher than would be the establish- ment of a ‘Summer School for the province. _
