Présentation de l'éditeur
The most marked tendency in the educational movement of to-day is the effort to make the experience and the power gained within the school fit into and supplement the life without. Education has been, and is too largely a process of dealing with abstractions with expression rather than with experience. By a strange perversity we have insisted upon presenting to the child that which is distant in place and time, and we have then wondered why he was so ignorant both of that and of the life about him. Education is the application and the enlargement of experience, resulting in the development of the individual. Geography is one of the important factors in education. All real knowledge of geography is based upon experiences derived through study of the home surroundings and relations.
