A General View of Each County; 3. A General View of the State, Its Natural Features, History, and Internal Improvements; And of the Employments of the People, Their Education, EtcFor recitations, a large black board should be used, at least three feet wide and three feet and a half long. This should be so placed that the pupil, standing before it, may have his face to the north, when, of course, his right hand will be to the cast, his back to the south, and his left hand to the west. If the class consist of several, let one be di rected to draw the northern line of the town boundary. Another may be invited to criticise the execution, and then another may give his Opinion. It may then with advantage be submitted to the judgment of the whole class, that any one who can detect an inaccurac'y, may expose it. Let the eastern boundary now be drawn, and subjected to the same critical examination and amendment; and so Of the other lines. A member of the class may then name the towns on the borders, marking the place of each, mentioning its direction from the town drawn, and pointing to its actual position with reference to the place he stands in. The streams, ponds, and roads being also laid down in the same manner, one of the pupils should be required to leave the drawing, and point towards the ponds, and signify also by pointing the actual direction of the streams and roads as they pass through the town. Questions may now be asked to elicit all other information that has been obtained respecting the town. The facts as they are elicited should be as much as possible connected with the drawing. If there be meet ing-houses, an academy, or factories in the town, let their position be marked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
