Présentation de l'éditeur

The central idea and aim of the system taught in this book is to impress upon the pupils mind -A picture of the icorld, defiiiitc and clear. This is accomplished through the learning of maps, not by looking at them and finding answers to printed questions, but by the repeated drawing of them; first the easier continental forms, but mainly by repeatedly drawing aof them zthe hemisphere, and successively adding mountains, rivers, gulfs, bays, lakes, islands, cities, boundary lines of countries and smaller details. The work is continued until the pupil is able readily to draw from memory the map of either hemisphere, on a7ty scale, and to locate correctly all facts and places of importance, and to enter in place the names of the products, the character of the peoples civilization and the names of the persons especially distinguished in each country. In addition the pupil is to be trained to take any particular country or state, his own especially, and magnify its map by a larger scale and fill it with greater detail. He is also to be trained to draw cross sections of continents and countries and give with each the principal elevations and indicate the great valleys, plains, slopes and plateaus, also the lakes with their surface elevations and depths, using the sea level as the datum line for all. When the astronomer photographs a section of the starry sky and his instrument is directed steadily by clock-work upon it, the sensitive plate will first show the brightest stars, then those of lower and lower magnitude, until finally it will picture remote stars and nebulae which are hardly visible to the eye through the best telescope. Whether the brightest or the smallest, all these will be printed in the right relation to one another. So the child begins with the simpler and easier continental forms, as separate objects to be drawn (perhaps by the aid of card-forms
