oric material, which may be dealt
with first-hand, as the pupil deals with the actual substance in
chemistry, and with the living plant in botany. Work of this kind
stimulates the student's historic sense and judgment. _It is especially
adapted to help students and teachers who do not have access to large
libraries; it contains within itself all that is absolutely necessary
for the work required._ The material given consists of maps, pictures,
lists of important events, men, works, and deeds, tables of political
organizations, and extracts from original sources, including
constitutions, creeds, laws, chronicles, and poems. It is accompanied by
questions in the nature of problems, the answers to which must be worked
out by the pupil himself from the given data. It is a book to be
studied, not read.
