Opis: A Geography of North America - Lyde Lionel W.

Excerpt from A Geography of North America: Including the West Indies

In this Series I have tried to embody the experience of a teacher and of an examiner. This experience has led me to several conclusions, which will, I believe, be confirmed by most practical teachers who are interested in Geography as a subject of real educational value: -

1.That maps in text-books cannot generally be used directly with the text, as it is impracticable to have the book open in more than one place at a time; but that their presence in the book has led to a regrettable neglect of the Atlas.

2. That an excessive variety of type and other mechanical devices for classification confuse the average pupil.

3. That most text-books contain much which would be better learned from the Atlas, or which is only an unnecessary tax on the memory.

Consequently, this Series contains no maps and little variety of type; and I have intentionally avoided mentioning, e.g., exact heights, distances or sizes, small industries, and unimportant places. Wherever any definite comparisons are made, especially in Lesson 15, they are intended only for reference.
