Excerpt from Workers in Nature's Workshop
Nature's Workshop. Possibly many of my young readers, together with their teachers and parents, have not looked upon Nature Study from the point of view taken throughout these chapters, and it is therefore hoped that their interest and sym pathy with the lower orders of animate life will be enhanced.
Many trades which we mortals follow have their counterparts in the functions of the higher animals, insects, and plants, but, whereas it takes us years of toil and in finite perseverance to learn even one trade thoroughly, our lowly workers seem to be fully equipped with the necessary knowledge when they are born into the world.
