Excerpt from Geographical Spice: A Manual for the Use of TeachersMost of the teachers in our public schools have but little time to search in libraries or in books they may have at home for brief descriptions of the great wonder ¿owers that bloom in the gardens of the world, hence a book giving tried, tested, and reliable notes of this kind must be welcome.Supplementary matter of this kind must always be secondary to leading principles, and should be used to make great truths shine out more clearly. It is easy for a bright teacher to amuse a class, and to make a lesson resemble a parlor entertainment of games and fairy tales, but that should be far from the object sought. Geographical Spice should be used, not as a material out of which lessons are to be constructed, but, as the name implies, as some thing to be introduced naturally in connection with everyday work for the purpose of kindling the child's enthusiasm, awakening his imagination, and arousing his interest in things and places far off and unseen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
