Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Butler´s Elementary Geography Butler´s Elementary Geography is the introduction to the author´s Complete Geography. It is designed as a preliminary treatise, and has been arranged especially for the use of pupils in the primary and intermediate grades. It has been the aim to make this a manual of object lessons, of reading, and of class exercises It has, therefore, been profusely illustrated with pictures, relief maps, and political maps. The illustrations are mainly by Misses Alice Barber and Agnes Watson, and Messrs. Lummis, Stephens, and Faber, - all of whom are widely known in connection with the illustration of children´s literature. Every picture is an excellent object lesson. The text has been arranged to meet the desire which is now almost universal among teachers of geography, - a reading description supplemented by a review-lesson. A casual glance will show that the descriptive text may be used cither as a reading-lesson or for topical recitation. When pupils arc sufficiently mature, the latter method is recommended. The map questions are so arranged that they may be used either as a drill exercise with the maps, or as an introduction to each subject in the text. The wise teacher will adopt both methods, and temper them with judgment. This is live first text-book to introduce the moulding-board in teaching geography, and s chapter containing copious directions is appended. In order to assist both teacher and pupil, photo-gravures of large models of the continents accompany the directions. These models have been prepared by the most skillful topographical modeler living. Except a slight vertical enlargement, they are made exactly on scale. In the preparation of the chapters on topographical moulding, as well as in selecting much of the material of the text, the author acknowledges the services of Mrs. N. R. Baldwin, a teacher widely known at a representative of the New Education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
