A Preliminary Plan for the Los Angeles Zoological Park and Aquarium (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Preliminary Plan for the Los Angeles Zoological Park and Aquarium
No zoo would be complete without the opportunity given the children to ride upon ponies and donkeys, or even better, to have the thrill of swinging up on the back of a kind old elephant, or go jogging along, clinging to the hump of a camel. There will be a real necessity for saddle-horses and burros to carry adults, as well as children, over the comfortably graded trails from which the various groups of animals may be seen to the best advantage.
The zoo and aquarium should constitute an important out of-door laboratory for work in natural history. There should be a supervisor of nature study in the public schools who will lead the teachers in the instruction of the children by means of field excursions and lectures illustrated by stereopticon slides and motion pictures. Such topics might be considered as the geographical distribution of animals, their native surround ings and homes, and the peculiarities in structure which adapt them for survival in the intense struggle for existence.
