Synopsis

Excerpt from The Reproduction of Geographical Forms: I, Sand-and Clay-Modelling With Respect to Geographical Forms, II, Map-Drawing and Map-Projection

Form. It is well, so far as possible, to acquire a knowledge of form from natural objects. Fruit, crystals, forms of leaves, shells, animals, and geometric forms will all furnish instructive lessons. At first the work must be wholly imitative, but, as skill is acquired, objects may be modelled from memory. With the modelling of geometric forms comes the necessary instruction in the use of descriptive terms, such as plane, curved, level, cubic, spherical, square, circular, slanting, vertical, angle or corner, solid, horizontal, etc. Inculcate with every step ideas of neatness in work and faithfulness to the copy.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Reproduction of Geographical Forms: I, Sand-and Clay-Modelling With Respect to Geographical Forms, II, Map-Drawing and Map-Projection

IT is hardly an exaggeration to say that the average child learns more of the science of geography in his rambles out of doors, before beginning the study in his school course, than he learns from the text-book after his school work in that study begins. The reason is that, in the one case he reads geography in nature, in the other from the printed page. No matter how well and how faithfully the teaching may be done, the disadvantages arising from the use of words and sentences instead of things in nature, are too great to be easily swept away. Within a few years the importance of this fact has been so widely recognized by primary teachers that, in a majority of schools, text-book work has been largely abandoned in primary grades, and oral lessons, aided by the moulding-board and the study of natural forms, have very properly taken its place.
