Excerpt from Suggestions to Teachers of Geography
Too much stress can hardly be laid upon the necessity of basing the study of geography upon what the pupil has actually observed. This does not imply that a large portion of the time devoted to this subject is to be spent in the field with the class, though occasional field lessons are very valuable; but it does mean that the pupil must be made to realize that much with which he is familiar in his own neighborhood is geography, and that the subject he is studying deals with the same order of things in neighborhoods with which he is not familiar. Before assigning a lesson in the text-book, the teacher should get and keep the attention of the children on its important features by appealing to concrete examples (note, p. 22 of this manual).
