Plan. This is a "First Book," telling the story of the earth as The Home Of Man. The pictures show how fully the book deals with People. Grade. Pupils ready for a simple third reader can begin the study of this book. The text is graded with care, and leads upward by easy steps. Scope. This work covers two years of study. One year may be given to pages 1 to 68. Teachers may enrich the course by oral lessons on nature studies. Pictures. This is the most richly illustrated schoolbook ever sent out to young pupils. The pictures are the highest type of costly wood engraving. Nearly all subjects are photographs, with child life as the central thought. To pupils of this age, good pictures and maps often teach more than text. Maps. This book lays much stress on the study of location of important places. With this in view the maps have been made very simple. They outline boldly the facts to be impressed on the memory and do not bury them in myriads of details. Two simple devices, both as old as maps themselves, are used to show directions. The words "north," "south," "east" and "west" are plainly printed in the margins of the colored maps. Little compass arrows, all pointing northward, are also printed at instructive points on the same maps. By turning to pages 70, 122 and 139, and finding three or four arrows on each, the reader can see how useful and impressive these devices are. May we not also think of the little child and assume that he will get a better lesson, at this age, from the arrows and the words "north," "south," "east" and "west" than from the study of degrees, parallels and meridians? Helps. After each lesson will be found questions to aid in the study of the text. The questions direct the mind to leading thoughts. To Teachers. Kindly read with care the notes on page viii.
