Book Description

Excerpt from Natural Elementary Geography This book develops the subject upon a definite and natural plan, and in harmony with approved principles of teaching. Each lesson, while complete in itself, paves the way to the following lesson. The pupil is led from that which is perfectly familiar and within easy range Of his Observation, to form correct ideas of things that are remote and strange; and not until such notions have been formed are these things named or defined. Generalizations are demanded only after the materials for their formation have been studied. The pupil's own country is presented early in the treatment, and then all other countries are studied in their relations to it. The subject is treated simply and sensibly. The book keeps well within the range Of the pupil's comprehension, but never descends to baby talk or other artificial means to hold his attention. The pupil is required to work rather than the teacher, and at the same time the book excites the interest Of both pupil and teacher and stimulates them University College, Toronto.
