Excerpt from The Oswego Normal Method of Teaching Geography: Prepared for the Practice Department of the Oswego State Normal and Training School of Oswego, N. Y

All this evidently was in the thought Of the author Of this little book, and it seems to me to be admirably presented. It is not designed for memory work. It is full of good suggestions for the teacher; not a guide for him to follow blindly and implicitly, but rather to point out directions in which he may lead his pupils, Outlines Of work to be executed in accordance with the conditions and circumstances, the environments and thought or ingenuity Of the teacher.

Excerpt from The Oswego Normal Method of Teaching Geography: Prepared for the Practice Department of the Oswego State Normal and Training School of Oswego, N. Y

Geography, at best, is a very complex subject. It includes the earth and all that pertains to it, as well as something of its relations to other planets. The subject is practically inexhaustible. It is the study of a lifetime. It begins with the child when he first enters the world, and only ends with him when he takes his exit from it. The question with the teacher is, how much of this study belongs to the life in the school. To what extent is he responsible for giving direction to this study.

It would seem sufficient to demand that he lay good foundations, and get the pupil started in the right direction. If this is a correct premise, then the first duty by the way of laying the foundation is to lead the child to properly observe everything in nature about him, - the air, the water, the sky, the clouds, the temperature, the animals, the plants, the rocks, the soil, the hills, the valleys, the streams, the habitations, the occupations, - in short all that pertains to that part of the earth which he knows, and its environments. He must also become master of the necessary terms with which to express the ideas gained by his observations.
