Excerpt from Topics in Geography
These Topics were prepared especially for the use of my own schools, and are therefore in every sense the product of the school-room. The cordial reception given to them on the part of teachers and superintendents now leads to their publication. In preparing the Topics for use I aimed:
First. To increase the value of geographical study, and at the same time shorten the time usually spent on the study.
Second. To show what to teach and what to omit.
Third. To give a brief outline for the scientific study of any continent as based upon structure or slope. Every continent should first be studied by this outline and then by the Topics.
Fourth. To present, as the title suggests, the whole subject by topics, and to have the topics presented always in the same order.
Fifth. To deal sparingly or not at all in statistics, but rather to have all areas taught by comparison.
Sixth. To make more prominent the natural curiosities and wonders, which are always interesting to pupils.
Seventh. To combine language and geography. For this purpose a language course is given for the primary grades, which by successive steps is preparatory for the regular work in geography. For the higher grades all the subjects suitable for language and object lessons arc mentioned.
