Books with author Frederic Clement

What to give the person who has everything? This is the dilemma of Frederick Knick-Knack who surely must have, somewhere in his bags and boxes, his chests and cases, his collection of collections, the ideal gift for his dear friend Alice. As he draws forth this trinket, that trifle, a world of wonder unfolds. What will he choose? A robe spun from the shooting stars with a veil of the Milky Way? A marble made by Merlin the Enchanter? Perhaps the ticket for a thousand and one flights on a thousand and one nights? Somehow, somewhere amid these myriad gifts is a gift like no other, the perfect present. Sparkling with warmth and humor, The Merchant of Marvels and the Peddler of Dreams is an exuberant marriage of word and illustration, its pages rich with finely crafted objets d'art, line drawings, and breathtaking watercolors. Imbued with magic, mystery, and enchantment, this exquisite volume is the perfect present in itself -- a wonderful story and a joyful celebration of love and friendship to be read and treasured.

An effort has been put forth to make the glossary very complete. Refer constantly to this, and thus become familiar with terms employed. 3. In the part of the Manual devoted to physiology, use especially MacDougal, Bessey, and Bergen for reference. 4. It is urged upon the smaller high schools of the state that a beginning in laboratory botany is most essential, no matter how insignificant that beginning may be. The course outlined in the Manual is complete enough for the best equipped school in the state, and it is not intended that the high school carrying a light equipment shall attempt the complete course. 5. It is further urged that the laboratory "quiz" method of instruction be largely employed. Let the teacher, instead of "lecturing" two or three times per week, go into the laboratory, and there "quiz" the pupils upon work actually in hand, at the same time bringing out related matters from the text book lesson. Converse freely with the students about the experiments or class work. 6. Attention is called to the outline of the vegetable kingdom--prepared by Dr. Bessey. 7. Correspondence regarding the needs of your course in Botany is invited by the Department of Botany, The University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of High School BotanyThe present work is intended solely as a laboratory guide in connection with lectures or a text-book. The matter has, in consequence, been presented in the briefest and most compact form consistent with this purpose. The aim is to put the student to work quickly and to keep him at work intelligently. Ex planation has been added only when it seemed essen tial to the proper handling of the laboratory work. The material and the teacher have been regarded as the two important facts in the work. The laboratory directions, it is hoped, will bring the student into direct contact with the material, and will relieve the teacher of a large amount of drudgery, thus giving him time for real teaching.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
