Synopsis
Excerpt from Physiography: For High Schools
For a number of years the authors have felt the need of a text that presents physiography from the high school point of view, both in content and in treatment. Since more than nine tenths of the pupils who enter secondary schools complete their formal education in such schools, the needs of this great class cannot be neglected; and subjects must be planned with the fact in mind that secondary pupils should know the scientific explanation of the common phenomena of nature.
A course in physiography in a college is naturally limited by the existence of parallel courses in astronomy, geology, and meteor ology; and the fear Of overlapping has led college men to omit many valuable topics from their courses and from the texts which they have prepared. No such limitation is found in the high school, and teachers are at liberty to select such topics as will contribute most to the culture of the pupil.
