Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class-Book of Geography This class-book of Geography was first published in 1878; various errors have been corrected in subsequent editions, but no revision has been made. Messrs. Macmillan now inform me that a larger new edition is required, and suggested that the book should be brought up to date, which has been done for me by the Rev. G. E. Mackie, Head Master of the Godolphin School. I have gone over his revision before going to press. The principal alterations are - (i) the putting in newer numbers for the population of towns; (2) the bringing up to date the political geography of Egypt, Turkey, &c.; (3) the mention of a few places. As Baku, which have lately become of importance; (4) the addition of an Appendix, intended to indicate what is meant by Astronomic Geography and Chartography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class Book of Physical Geography Physical Geography as a school subject is concerned properly with those aspects of the Earth which determine or influence the life of man. It necessarily touches other departments of natural knowledge at many points, but in the following lessons the contributory sciences of astronomy, geology, meteorology, and physics are introduced only to the extent necessary to make clear some of the more obvious ways in which human life is affected by natural phenomena. Educationally regarded, Geography is a practical science practical, since it cannot be studied satisfactorily without the personal performance of observational and experimental exercises designed to lead the student to discover for himself fundamental facts and principles a science, in that the data with which it deals can be applied convincingly to man's needs only when their place in an orderly sequence of cause and effect is duly appreciated. The practical exercises set out at the beginning of the various sections of the book have been framed to lead each student to become - within the limits of the course of study - an independent observer able to reason intelligently on the facts he encounters. The descriptive text which follows each set of exercises provides a means of checking the results obtained and the conclusions arrived at by the student. It is urged that, although the descriptive portions of the volume will be found complete as a text-book, much of the educational value of their study will be lost by students who neglect the practical work.

Download or read book Elementary Geography written by Charlotte Mason and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book is confined to very simple “reading lessons upon the Form and Motions of the Earth, the Points of the Compass, the Meaning of a Map: Definitions.” The shape and motions of the earth are fundamental ideas—however difficult to grasp. Geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning “the meaning of map,” and how to use it. These subjects are well fitted to form an attractive introduction to the study of Geography: some of them should awaken the delightful interest which attaches in a child’s mind to that which is wonderful—incomprehensible. The Map lessons should lead to mechanical efforts, equally delightful. It is only when presented to the child for the first time in the form of stale knowledge and foregone conclusions that the facts taught in these lessons appear dry and repulsive to him. An effort is made in the following pages to treat the subject with the sort of sympathetic interest and freshness which attracts children to a new study. A short summary of the chief points in each reading lesson is given in the form of questions and answers. Easy verses, illustrative of the various subjects, are introduced, in order that the children may connect pleasant poetic fancies with the phenomena upon which “Geography” so much depends. It is hoped that these reading lessons may afford intelligent teaching, even in the hands of a young teacher. The first ideas of Geography—the lessons on “Place”—which should make the child observant of local geography, of the features of his own neighbourhood, its heights and hollows and level lands, its streams and ponds—should be conveyed viva voce. At this stage, a class-book cannot take the place of an intelligent teacher. Children should go through the book twice, and should, after the second reading, be able to answer any of the questions from memory. Charlotte M. Mason

Instead of devoting two or three pages of text to the origin of mountains. A subject in which the average child takes no interest, we give in the general presentation of the physical geography of the earth four pictures of mountains, and under each picture give a brief description of the origin and character of the formation. The same course has been followed with reference to other physical features. The pupil will read these descriptions because of his interest in the picture, and will remember them for life because of their association with it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Geography: Designed for Primary and Intermediate Classes The Indians and hunters who catch animals for their fur live a great deal in the forests. Often there are no roads to guide them. Sometimes it is very cloudy, and they cannot see the sun. They are said to have a very curious way of finding out then where the north is. Moss grows best in shady places, and generally grows thickest on the north side of the trunks of trees, because the sun does not shine much on that side. The hunters and Indians, therefore, look to see which side of the trees is covered with moss. They know that the mossy side is the north side. The moss is to them as good a friend as the compass needle to the sailor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physical Geography There are good textbooks on physical geography, but there are many teachers and school departments not satisfied with any of them. The author has endeavored to meet the require ments of these teachers as far as such needs could be ascertained. With a subject as broad as physical geography there will al ways be lack of uniformity in the manner of presentation, as well (as in the subject matter. The subject is one which is undergoing many changes, and it is possible that both the teachers and the subject may be ahead of present textbooks in many particulars. Every class in physical geography should have more or less laboratory and field work associated with the textbook. One of the functions of the textbook not the only one, by any means is to serve as a handbook, which the pupil studies as an aid in the interpretation of what he sees in the labora tory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Geography: A Text-Book for Children Children naturally prefer types to generalities; there fore a lesson is devoted to a typical mountain, river, coast-line, and valley, in place of general descriptions of such natural objects. Children are also fond of the personal element and the story form; for this reason a real teacher and real classes are employed in the text. For the same reason the style in Part IV, or in the journeys, is that of the traveller telling his experiences.

West's Class in Geography IT is not because kindergartens amuse the children, keep them out of mischief, teach them to use their hands, and, to some extent, their brains, that they are chiefly valuable. These things have a use, of course; but the real service of the kindergartens is that they are a concession from the old habit of regard ing the child's mind as a thing to be built up according to the laws of pedagogy, that they are the expression of the scientific method. In this method the attitude of teacher and of pupil toward each other entirely changes; one is no longer the Procrustes to whose measure ment all over whom he rules must submit, and the other the victim of a tyranny destructive of mental growth or scientific progress. We know that fromthe beginning of time there have been great educators in the world, and that men coming after them have made use of4 zus ce.
