Excerpt from Manual of Experimental Botany There is something in an experiment which appeals to the mind of the young. The innate desire to find out what is in a toy, how it works, and why various things happen, is largely responsible for this. Chemistry and physics owe their great popularity to the fact that they have been taught by experiment. Zoology and botany have always been less popular because they have often been taught without experimentation. In the days when morphology was the summum bonum of botanical study, there could be small room for experiment But in these later years, when the science has been taught more along physiological lines, the use of experiment has come into more general vogue. It is the purpose of this little book to teach botany by experiment. Plants yield themselves very readily to experiment. Being alive, they respond to all external influences most admirably, and there is no reason why such work with plants should not prove as interesting and as useful as similar exercises with levers, lenses, vibrating pendulums, and cords. It is hoped that something may be found in this book which will remedy the inadequacy which exists in the laboratory instruction of many schools. The work is not entirely physiological in character, but it has been thought wise to present the morphological part also in the form of experiments.
