Excerpt from The Rand-McNally Elementary Geography: Illustrated by Diagrams, Colored Maps, and Engravings, Prepared Expressly for This Work
This volume is issued to meet the urgent demand for a text-book specially devised for the Topical Method of teaching Elementary Geography, and the publishers feel entire confidence in asserting that herein every requirement is fully met.
Under the Topical Method (which has come to be considered the most efficacious by many progressive teachers) a lesson, or part of a lesson, covering a given subject, is read during the exercise by members of the class, and the subject matter is then made the basis of illustration, discussion, and experiment by the teacher. In this manner children acquire, with comparative ease, a fund of technical knowledge and general information.
