- Title
INTEREST IN NATURAL HISTORY TEACHING IN NEW ZEALAND, FIJI, ENGLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, AND DENMARK.
- Authors
Palmer, E. Laltrence
- Abstract
The author of this article describes some of the teaching practices associated with natural history in New Zealand, Fiji, England, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. During a trip to New Zealand, the author learned that a large number of the average classroom teachers were better qualified than their American counterparts to carry on successful outdoor experiences. In Fiji, he had met Colin Marshall, a forester who had built a forestry school together with a group of high school students. He asserted that some of the laboratories in Sweden were equipped far better than any of their counterparts in America. In Norway, there was less evidence of rich equipment for the teaching of science. As a result of his association with several foreign educators, the author described the approaches to the teaching of conservation.
