Excursions Lessons In Home G

Excerpt from Excursions and Lessons in Home Geography It is customary in some schools to make excursions with children to study the geography of the home neighborhood. The series of excursions described in this book furnishes a variety of illustrations in different localities of such trips with children. They are such excursions as are usually taken with classes in the third or the fourth grade. But while it may be well to emphasize the geographical excursion in these grades just beginning the study, an occasional excursion would not be out of place with children in any grade below the high school. In fact, some of the trips described were taken with grammar school classes. A few of these topics, like that of gravel roads, may be discussed without an excursion, but in most of them the excursion would be a real help. In this book our purpose has been to give the subject-matter rather than the method of managing the excursion, though occasionally hints are given on method.
