Book Description

Excerpt from Globes and Maps in Elementary Schools: A Teachers' Manual Very few of the facts indicated in these pages are to be given to the pupils; they are to be elicited from them. A distinction should be made between telling and teaching. There would be little or no advantage to be gained by any pupil in merely committing the facts to memory and reciting them. The skillful teacher will first see that step by step the various conditions here described are illus trated by the pupils withaglobein hand, andaseachstepisreached will obtain from individuals correct statements of the facts observed. If the teacher has the power to make the lessons thoroughly enjoy able, so much the better. An unused globe may be an indication of some lack of preparation or of efieiency on the part of the teacher, and it is assumed that he will gladly free himself from the possi bility of such a charge as he has opportunity.
