Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Association of History and Geography
But the relationship, in teaching, cannot be dismissed as simply one even between pupil, subject, and teacher. There is the further relationship between the subject and its fellows.
The formal object lesson, though valuable from the aspect of sense training, often proved in practice barren and unstimulating. In the presentation and examination of the object there was often an isolation which, even when it did not lead to real distortion, did not at any rate generate' intelligent mental associations.
It was with some relief, therefore, that teachers welcomed the wider conceptions involved in Nature Study, a subject which arded as favourable a field as the object lesson for the training of the senses, but which, at the same time, presented things in their natural setting.
