Geography for Schools

Abstract

THE very title of Mr. L'Estranges book expresses an admirable idea. The graduation of geographical teaching in such a way as to adapt the matter to boys and girls of different ages, and yet to make it educational at every stage, and hence to present at successive stages tasks of gradually advancing difficulty, is admittedly one of the hardest and at the same time one of the most important problems which the teacher has to face. In his attempt to accomplish this task Mr. L'Estrange has produced a work on which a very great amount of thought and pains have been bestowed, with such a wealth of instructive maps extremely useful for teaching purposes, and of equally instructive pictorial illustrations, and with a text possessing so many valuable features, that it may be unhesitatingly and cordially recommended to every teacher of geography.
