MRS. MARGARET WARNER MORLEYOne of the first settlements in Iowa was the village
Montrose on the Mississippi river. It was here on Feby. 17, 1858,
that Margaret Warner Morley was born. She is the daughter of Isaac
and Sarah Robinson Warner, who were Iowa pioneers living in a cabin as
did all their neighbors. Shortly after the birth of their daughter
they returned to the East where she was educated for the profession of
teaching, being graduated from the New York City Normal College in
1878. She taught in the Oswego, N. Y., Normal School, in the
Milwaukee, Wis. Normal School and in the High School at Leavenworth,
Kan. She also taught biology in Armour Institute, and in the free
kindergarten association training class of Chicago. She has
delivered lectures in many cities. Her specialty is biology and
she has written many books and magazine articles on the beginnings of
life, and how to teach children the simple laws of biology and nature
study. In 1913 she contributed a series of articles on nature
studies for the Outlook which received most favorable criticism.
Many of her books are used as supplementary readers in the
schools. They are attractively illustrated and the children love
them. Among her books are "A Song Of Life,"
"A Few Familiar Flowers," "Life and
Love, "Flowers and Their Friends," "The Bee
People," "Seed Babies," "The
Honey Makers," "Little
Wanderers," "Down North and Up
Along," The Insect Folk," "Little
Mitchell," "Wasps and Their Ways," "The
Renewal of Life," "Grasshopper Land," "Donkey John
of the Toy Village" and "The Insect
Folk." Mrs. Morley lives at Tryon, North Carolina. |
