Synopsis
Excerpt from Geography Primer
In this little primer, as in other text-books by the same authors, the attempt has been made to prepare a work which shall be free from the diffuseness characteristic of many modern text-books. Both text and maps of some of the best of our modern geographies contain such a mass of details as seriously to interfere with their pedagogical value; the maps are confusing and the text is too rich to be assimilated. The books lack the essentially good features of an interesting geographical reader and at the same time fail to present a text sufficiently concise for purposes of study.
In preparing the present work the authors have endeavored to avoid these defects by making such a selection and arrangement of geographical material as to furnish a textbook that may profitably be used for study by very young pupils. In accordance with this aim, great care has been taken to keep the language as clear and as simple as possible, and to eliminate from both the text and the maps superfluous and distracting details.
So far as the general arrangement of the book is concerned, the authors have been guided by what seems to be the consensus of modem pedagogical opinion. Beginning with the familiar and interesting environment of the child, geographical concepts are built up.
