Sky Is Limit,
Nature Teacher
Tells Students
"The sky is the limit in science
and nature study," Mrs. Agnes
Campbell, Laboratory School critic
teacher, stated Thursday in her
lecture entitled "Outside your
Schoolroom Door."
Mrs. Campbell pointed out two
ways to develop children's appreciation of their environment: Explain why a plant or animal
chooses a specific environment, and
plan field trips and gather specimens for mounting.
. After children can associate
plants with a certain environment, they will understand why
they grow there, Mrs. Campbell
explained. She also stated that
children have to realize the association of the animal to its environment and why it lives in a
certain place.
"Field trips teach not only nature study, Gathering and mounting specimens increase the child's
interest in art, woodcraft, and
scouting," she declared.
Mrs. Campbell showed several
posters with specimens of plants
mounted on them. She also displayed a large collection of mount-'
ed (birds and animals. Many of
these were at different stages of
maturity.
