Excerpt from Geography of Middleser County: For Young ChildrenTan pupil should be provided with a geography and map of Middlesex County, and a small black board 18 inches long by 15 broad. If this cannot be easily procured, a slate and pencil will' very well answer the purpose. Let his at tention first be directed to the map, and inform him that the top is north, the bottom south, the right hand east, and the left hand west. Let him find on the map the town where he resides, and observe carefully its shape, its ponds, its rivers, and its mountains. All these he is to draw from the map upon his small black board with chalk, and to draw them over and over again, till he can do it accurately from his memory alone. Next the boundaries of the town are to be learned. The pupil may then leave the map and see what is said of the town in the geography. He will find a short account of it in its alphabetical place among the towns of the county. To show the pupil that he can nu derstand the whole matter, and that it is one of his on concern, he may be encouraged to consider what things there maybe worthy of notice in the town besides those mentioned in the book, as mills or factories, ponds, streams, bills or mountains.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
