This book aims at discussing the teaching of Geography in Elementary Schools more fully than can be done in a chapter in a general textbook of method. This practice is now generally followed in dealing with the teaching of this and other subjects in Secondary Schools.

The first five chapters give a concise account of the changes introduced into the conception of the subject by the modern geographers, and the ways in which this changed conception should influence the teaching of the subject in Elementary Schools. Suggestions are then made for drawing up a syllabus for each standard, and exhaustive hints are given as to the methods of teaching according to such a syllabus. Considerable sections deal with the matter on which the newer conception of the subject lays stress, and suggest sources from which information can be obtained, as well as suitable maps and apparatus.
