Strana 14 - There is a happy moment for fixing skill in drawing, for making boys collectors in natural history, and presently dissectors and botanists; then for initiating them into the harmonies of mechanics and the wonders of physical and chemical law.
Strana 31 - Some one writes a name, and hides it from the children — the name of some part of the body, or of a plant, or animal, or metal — and the children guess what it is. Whoever guesses right gets an apple or a piece of cake. One of the visitors wrote Intestina, and told the children it was a part of the body.
