Excerpt from Type Studies From the Geography of the United States: 1st Series This little book is designed to outline and illustrate a plan for the study of geography in third and fourth grades. After a closer survey of home objects in third grade, it lays the scene of operations for the fourth grade in the Mississippi Valley. A series of type studies of great fullness and detail is worked out, with the aim of making geography thoroughly instructive and stimulating to children. The "Pioneer History Stories of the Mississippi Valley" are used in the same grade and cover exactly the same area as the geography topics, so that the relation between history and geography is intimate and many-sided. The natural science topics treated in the grade are also largely suggested by the geography and history. This enables us, therefore, to illustrate more fully the plan of concentration of studies discussed in the "General Method." This book is one of a series of Special Methods, treating of the selection and quality of the best materials furnished by the separate studies, and points out the particular application of general principles to these materials. The others are as follows: Special Method in Literature and History, especially the oral treatment of stories in primary and intermediate grades. The history course for grammar grades is also discussed and outlined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
