Side 116 - ... remember that exact agreement in "regard to . the professional training of high-school teachers is not necessary for progress, in fact, exact agreement would soon stop advancement. Precise delimitations of method will probably be sought by the pedant, the inefficient, and those who lack originality, but it is to be hoped that the day is far distant when cut-and-dried methods of the same type shall be imposed on the secondary teachers of this land.

Side 77 - ... of the shoot from the Stem is not effected in the same manner as that of the root, by additions to the extremity only, but by the introsusception of additional particles, throughout its whole extent, at least, in its soft and succulent state. The extension of the shoot, as Du Hamel justly remarks, is inversely as its induration, rapid while it remains herbaceous, but slow as it is converted into wood.

Side 75 - Liber, from its having been anciently used to write upon, before the invention of paper.* If the cortical layers be injured or destroyed by accident, the part is again regenerated, and the wound healed up, without a scar. If the wound have penetrated beyond the Liber, the part is incapable of being regenerated ; because, when the surface of the alburnum is exposed to the air for any length of time, there will be no further vegetation in that part. But if the wound be not very large, it will close...
Side 83 - ... into the principal stem. This must consequently enlarge that stem, in a more than ordinary degree, by increasing the annual circles of the wood. Now, if the tree be in a worse soil and climate, than those which are natural to it, this will be of some advantage, as the extra...
