“I do not suppose that anyone here will want or expect to be told or convinced of the great advantage to be gained by Nature Study, of the widening of the powers of observation, and what an American author has called the ‘mental uplift’ of it, or of the solace and relief to be derived from having a pure and elevating hobby (if you will call it so) to which to turn at intervals among the worry and trouble of necessary avocations. To quote the same author again, ‘every one’ of your pupils ‘will some day need the solace and the rest which Nature Lore can give.’” (“Nature Work at the House of Education”, PR9)
