Excerpt from Topical Analysis of Descriptive Geography, United States History, and Physiology and Hygiene
The object aimed at in the preparation of this book was to place in the bands of the pupils a synopsis of the principal topics to which they should pay special attention in the preparation of their lessons, and to have these topics so connected that they may be easily learned and retained.
The necessity for such a plan has been long apparent from the many failures made in teaching these branches, as witnessed in a large majority of our schools.
Take, for instance, the study of History. How many teachers have labored hard and long trying to "get through the book" with a class, only to find on examination that very few, if any, of the pupils could relate, either orally or in writing, in language not borrowed from the text book (and few even in that) the history of any important period of campaign!
Why is this, if not because too much time has been spent n memorizing unimportant matter? and that, too, so disconnected that the first part of the story was forgotten before the last was learned.
