Excerpt from Geographical Nature Studies: For Primary Work in Home Geography
No two subjects of study in the primary grades are more closely and naturally correlated than Nature Study and Observational or Home Geography, for all phenomena within our ken, whether they have to do with man or nature, may be classed under some aspect of the many-sided and comprehensive science of Geography.
In the first three school years these subjects are often taught orally; but with most teachers such oral instruction involves an undue amount of labor in preparing the lessons, and not infrequently leads to but vague and unsatisfactory results.
This little reading book for primary pupils is designed to lighten the work of the teacher, and by pointing out the often unrecognized relations between familiar phenomena and Home Geography will guide the study of the class to definite and practical ends.
The various lessons are adapted to the comprehension of the youngest pupils, and are calculated not only to cultivate habits of accurate observation, but to stimulate a desire for more knowledge and broader views of the world about us. They lead directly up to the point where the more formal study of geography from a text-book begins. The form and construction of these lessons is such that they may be used both as reading exercises and also for topical recitations.
