Probably the most effective - ork
in humane education can be done by
uniting It with the regular studies

every author has touched on this sub.

the material for humane study, which
they thought difficult to obtain, has
Instead become an unlimited field.
There is nothing in the world In
which the child is more interested
than in the study of animals, both
the wild and the domesticated.
Humane study is varied and invit

brain and makes the teacher a char

than this?
