Synopsis
Excerpt from Tarr and McMurry Geographies, Vol. 3: North America and South America
The plan of this series of geographies devotes the entire second volume to North America, thus providing space for a much fuller treatment than has heretofore been customary. In this treatment the authors have left the beaten track to such an extent that some words of explanation seem called for.
Physiographic basis. - The first four sections are given over to a consideration of certain necessary facts and elementary principles of physiography.
While considerable space -is devoted to this physio graphic basis, an examination of the text will show that this space is used, not so much in introducing new physiographic matter, as in more detailed statements and explanations. Recognizing the inherent difficulty of the subject for young minds, and believing that, as ordinarily presented in the books, the children fail to grasp the significance of the important basal principles, the authors have attacked the problem in a new way.
