NATURE-STUDY.

ERNEST B. BABCOCK, B.S., Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education.

LOYE H. MILLER, M.S., Instructor in Biology and Natural Science, Los Angeles State Normal School.

CYRIL A. STEBBINS, Instructor in Nature-Study in the Summer Session.

The growing interest in this phase of elementary school education has demanded its recognition by all institutions that stand for efficient teaching. The time for mere enthusiastic individual effort has passed. Many educators throughout the world are now concerned with the problem of organization and the critical study of material and methods. For them, the term nature-study has come to have a commonly accepted meaning. It stands as a "general term for elementary undifferentiated study of both organic and inorganic nature according to scientific methods but not closely imitating advanced science." Such study deals with those common objects and activities that have been found useful for pupils of elementary school age. While it is undifferentiated study on the part of the pupils, success depends upon good teaching. Two indispensable qualifications for good teaching are, first, knowledge of subject matter and sources of material; and, second, a proper grasp of methods of presentation. It is the aim of the courses offered below to help teachers secure these qualifications.

1. The Teaching of Nature-Study.

Assistant Professor BABCOCK and Mr. STEBBINS. Two lectures on the history, status, and organization of naturestudy, by Professor Babcock, followed by ten lectures on material and methods by Mr. Stebbins. 1 unit.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

ERNEST B. BABCOCK, B.S., Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education.

The rapidly increasing demand for the introduction of agriculture into the schools, both secondary and elementary, calls for the coöperation of all available agencies by which teachers may be prepared to give instruction in this subject. California high schools are compelled to look to Eastern agricultural colleges for properly qualified men to fill the new positions created by the introduction of agriculture. The following courses are offered in the belief that they will be useful to teachers desiring to fit themselves for this work. See also Nature-Study 2.

1. Elementary School Agriculture.

Assistant Professor BABCOCK.

Subject-matter and methods adapted to sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Lectures and round table discussion of Hilgard and Osterhout's "Agriculture for Western Schools.''

2M. Secondary School Agriculture. Assistant Professor BABCOCK. One week will be devoted to study and discussion of each of the following topics of general adaptability to California high schools: soils, farm crops, wheat, alfalfa, orange, apple. After an introductory lecture and examination of material, references will be given from which the student will be expected to prepare an outline for teaching the subject. These outlines will be presented and discussed at the next meeting of the class. 2 units.
