Designed to meet the requirements of Male and Female Candidates for Certificates^ andofPupil Teachers and Assistants in preparing for the Examinations at the end of each year of Apprenticeship a7id for the Scholarship Examinatiofi, and also in preparing Lessofts in the Standard Geography. SFZSOX^X- rJSATXJItXSSS = 1. The matter is arranged in the order of teaching. 2. Full and complete directions are given as to the mode of presenting each item of information to a class. 3. Nearly 200 Original Sketches and Blackboard drawings have been introduced. 4. The matter covers in one book the entire course required by Pupil Teachers and Students in Physical and Astro- nomical Geography. * \Ve venture to predict for these Graphic Lessons a very wide distribution. Young teachers will find in them the essential facts of the subject of their study, and experienced teachers will often gather hints as to the arrangement and illustrations of their lessons, which will save them a considerable amount of trouble. As the Master of Method in the Westminster Training College, whose pre-eminent success in this branch of school management is emphasised in the Blue-Book just published, Mr. Cowham can offer these “lessons’’ to young teachers with some authority. The engrav- ings are very numerous and are bondfide reproductions of work done on the blackboard during actual instruction. Scientific accuracy has been combined with simplicity of statement, and the profuse illustrations will be found to be helpful both to student and teacher. The quality of the paper, the character and arrangement of the type, and the general get-up of this work, cannot fail to give satisfaction to all for whom it is primarily intended, and to whom we strongly commend it for the double use of which it is capable in learning and teaching*.—The Schoolmaster. * Cosvham's Graphic Lessons in Physical and Astronotnical Geography cover a very extensive area, comprising the Code work for the Standards, the Pupil Teacher’s course of geography, and the requirements both of the Scholarship and Certificate Examina- tions. The lessons are arranged on a uniform principle. The left-hand pages contain the information to be imparted in the course of the lesson, whilst the right-hand pages are reserved for illustrations and teaching hints. Appended to each lesson is a summary of the subject-matter and a set of questions for examination. A close scrutiny of this admirable series of Notes and Lessons shows how simple and interesting even a somewhat difficult subject may become when handled by a teacher who combines sound knowledge with practical skill in imparting instruction. Great judgment has been shown in the selection of suitable types, and the numerous illustrations, most of which are intended for reproduction on the blackboard, evince the great care that has been bestowed on the preparation of this useful manual. We cordially commend this book to the notice of teachers.*—School Guardian. The book * Graphic Lessons* by Mr. Cowham, is itttendcd to prepare Pupil Teachers atid Scholarship Candidates to pass an excellent Scholarship Examhiation in Geography. These candidates will theft ftot be required to presefit themselves again for examination in this subject.
