OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"_The Readers bear evidence on every page of the author's great
experience of School Work, and of his thorough grasp of the
conditions under which the elements of geography are taught in the
standards._"--SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE.
"_In an examination of these volumes the feature that first strikes
the reader is, probably, the amount of information stored within
them, and the more one penetrates into them the more this becomes
apparent. The author has spared no labour to make his books the
means of conveying geographical knowledge. The information is full,
sound, and exhibits considerable research. Illustrations are
introduced here and there, and the maps are very well
done--distinct, not crowded with names, but just sufficient to
strike the attention of the pupil._"--SCHOOLMASTER.
GEORGE DARNELL'S COPY-BOOKS.
A SURE AND CERTAIN ROAD TO GOOD HAND-WRITING.
After over a quarter of a century of public favour, are everywhere
acknowledged as the best for simplicity and thoroughness. With these
Copy-books the pupil advances in the art of writing with ease and
rapidity, while the labour of the teacher is very greatly lightened.
They are used in nearly all the best schools in Great Britain and the
Colonies, and are adapted to the new Educational Code.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM.
I. It is the production of an experienced Schoolmaster.
II. It gradually advances from the Simple Stroke to a superior
Small-hand.
III. The assistance given in the primal lesson is reduced as the learner
progresses, until all guidance is safely withdrawn.
IV. The number and variety of the copies secure attention, and prevent
the pupils copying their own writing, as in books with single
head-lines.
V. The system insures the progress of the learner, and greatly lightens
the labours of the teacher.
