Description:Excerpt from Europe The purpose Of this series is to occupy middle ground between the customary text-books and geographical readers, and to combine the essential advantages of both. The two extremes, whether employed separately or to gether, fail to meet the practical needs Of the average school room. The text-books adhere to the scientific method, at a sacrifice of the practical or pedagogical method. The teacher finds it difficult either to assign a definite lesson for study from the books or to use them for class exercises in reading and discussion. In their completeness the text-books con tain so much that selection is difficult, and the attempt to teach the whole is disastrous. Geographical readers, in the form Of stories Of travel, go so far to the other extreme that they also fall outside of the daily task Of the geography teacher. Courses Of study very properly call for definite concepts and facts. After serious attention has been given to these, there is but little time to spare in the regular curriculum for lighter reading. There is need Of books that shall select the essentials and set them forth in such an explicit and straightforward man ner that they may be easily used, both for preparatory read ing and for study and recitation. It is the design of these books to supply that want. Since they occupy a unique position, they should not be judged according to existing standards, but according to practical needs.
