Excerpt from Leaves From Nature's Story-Book, Vol. 3 To awaken the interest of the young reader in such a way as shall lead him to investigate for himself, has been the chief aim of the author in preparing this series of story-lessons. There is a charm in the story-form of presenting a subject, that not only attracts the attention of a child but holds it closely, to the very end. The bird, the bee, and the blossom, when invested with a personality familiar to his mind, stand forth at once objects of the deepest interest to him. Then, too, in reading his story, he gathers not only the essential points connected with the subject, but he gains something of much value besides. His imagination receives a healthful stimulus, the spirit of inquiry is quickened, and he unconsciously acquires a smooth and easy manner of expression. As he reads on and on, he becomes eager to know more about the mysterious world of nature. Second-hand knowledge fails to satisfy him, and he longs to experiment for himself. Impelled by this spirit of research which has been aroused by his story-lessons, he goes forth into field and forest. He makes collections from the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms. He examines, compares and classifies them. So unspeakably attractive does the work become, that he masters the driest details connected with each subject without being aware of the amount of time and labor expended upon them.
