Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 6 of 7 This volume begins with an article on the teaching of the Blind and Deaf, thus completing the articles on special schools. The rest of the volume is devoted to articles on the organisation of education in various countries, beginning with Organisation and Finance in England and Scotland, and in Ireland, and then dealing with the leading countries on the Continent, America, and our Colonies. In addition, there are some illustrations in this volume which deal with another subject. In Volumes I. and II. the Infant School and Nature Study were both considered, and these drawings may be regarded as an addition to those articles and as illustrating the methods of teaching Nature Study adopted by Miss von Wyss, the principles adopted being that the child is to be trained to make drawings and coloured representations of objects direct from nature, that as far as possible it is allowed to find out for itself as it grows older the various details necessary for a complete representation, and that the examples be chosen so that the child is dealing with one object alone in the first instance. The gradual changes in the development of a plant, and the relations of the organism to its environment are handled at later stages. The selected drawings illustrate a few such points, but the attention of the reader is directed to them for a further reason. Miss von Wyss has succeeded in combining in one study an accurate representation suitable for a scientific text-book with an artistic treatment. We have here, therefore, the combination of the exact training in observation with an æsthetic atmosphere, and it is largely with a view to enabling teachers to realise how much can be done in this direction that these illustrations have been reproduced.
