Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Missouri The author has aimed to get hold of the salient facts and forces which have made the state of Missouri what it is. The contour of the region, the character of its soil, the products of its farms and factories, and the centers of commerce, together with the means of transportation, have been chosen as the main subjects for treatment in these pages. Place geography has been enforced by presenting products in their proper relation to their origin, as it has been generally admitted that isolated facts have small value, and that correlated ideas lead back to great principles and systems. Causes are here reached by a study of effects as concrete results. While the adult may go from causes to effects, the child most naturally goes from effects to causes. What is it, whence came it, how did it come to be as it is, is the order of the child-mind. The common things of the everyday lives of the pupils are rich with materials for training and culture, and the teacher should learn their value in teaching local and state geography. With but few exceptions, the illustrations found in the volume are from original sources, and the author hopes they will add clearness and interest to the discussion.
