Excerpt from Suggestions on Teaching Geography
The most of these chapters have appeared in The Public-School Journal from time to time. Some friends have thought them worthy of being put in a more convenient form, so here they are. As the title implies, they are simply intended to be suggestive in their character. No book is of very high value unless it suggests better things to the user than it contains. It is believed that this little book will do so, and that it will therefore be helpful to teachers and pupils.
The attention of teachers and of those fitting themselves to be teachers is called especially to the introductory chapters. They may not approve of all that is said; but as honest students they will seek after the truth for its own sake, and these chapters may guide them in the way that leads to it.
The chapters under Imaginary Excursions are intended as models to be followed by the pupils. It is hoped they may take as much pleasure in studying them as the writer did in their preparation. If they do, it is certain that those lessons will not prove burdensome in the least.
