Excerpt from The Comprehensive Question and Answer Book: For Review and Study in School and Home, A Practical Guide to Success in Civil Service and Teachers' Examinations The Comprehensive Question Book is the result of an experience of several years in the public schools of New York City, in both the day and the evening sessions. The work of selecting questions that would be comprehensive and practical, yet would not include any of the unnecessary detail in the various subjects of the elementary school, led to the examination of several thousand question papers prepared by the civil service and examining boards throughout the country. The questions have been selected for their utility and their disciplinary value. They are arranged logically, following the general order of cause and effect. They should encourage thought. The answers are supported by the authoritative text-books in the respective fields of knowledge. The book has been tested in the classroom. It is comprehensive without the burdensome and unessential details usually found in books of this nature. It reviews the necessary subjects in the curricula in use throughout the country, and those called for in the special and civil service examinations for teachers and others. The purpose of the book is twofold: for the teacher and examiner it furnishes a wide range of questions suitable for drill, test and review, for the student it supplies an exhaustive and analytic quiz of the subjects that will aid in the preparation for the many examinations that he takes, not omitting the encouragement of original thought. I desire to acknowledge my deep appreciation for the valuable suggestions and criticisms made by Ossian Lang, editor of School Journal, without which many valuable features of the work would be lacking. To the principals and teachers whose criticism of the manuscript and reading of the proof have helped to make this a successful book, my thanks are also due. That the readers will derive material benefit from mis book is the earnest wish of the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
