Excerpt from Man and His Markets: A Course in Geography This book is intended to supply a course of study in Geography, and is a companion volume to Man on Me Bart/z. My experience as an examiner for the Oxford Local Examination Board, and for the College of Preceptors, has confirmed that gained in teaching Geography to boys and in lecturing on it to working-men - namely, that it is impossible to teach the Geography of any particular area, with really satisfactory results, to any class which has not a substratum of geographical knowledge in two special lines. The first of these is concerned with the great phenomena of the science, which I have already endeavoured to treat in Man on Me Earth; the second is concerned with the chief necessaries of human life, which form the main subject of the pre sent volume.

Excerpt from High School Geography Of late years the study of Physical Geography has made rapid advances; it forms part of the course of study in higher schools, and has its lectureships and professorships in various universities of the United States and Europe. It is recognized not only as an important study in itself, cultivating the habit of observation and of associating cause and effect, but also as an introduction, or rather an incitement, to the study of various sciences. Physical Geography, a description of Nature in What pertains to the Earth, is eclectic in character. Resting mainly on Geology, and only to a less degree upon Meteor ology, it reaches out to Astronomy, to Mineralogy, to Chemistry, to Biology, and even to History and Political Economy.

Excerpt from Outline in Geography In the preparation of this course the observational and representative features of the work have constantly been kept in mind. As stated by the Committee of Ten, the true order of geographical study should be: First, see; next, reproduce; then study the productions of others, and, meanwhile ponder and reason on all.' Through a study of the simple phenomena of nature and through 1 study of man and his institutions as seen by the pupils in their home, school and social life in Stockton, they should be led with these standards of comparison to gain a conception of the world as a whole. In the primary grades the geography and history of Stockton, San Joaquin County and California are studied with great care, not alone because of local importance, but that they may become real units of measurement with which other cities, counties and countries may be compared.
