In 'The Elements of Geology; Adapted to the Use of Schools and Colleges', Justin R. Loomis presents a comprehensive overview of the principles of geology, perfect for students studying the subject. The book includes enough important facts to allow learners to come to their own conclusions, while avoiding excessive detail found in other works. Loomis devotes a chapter to geological changes, noting that these processes are always ongoing simultaneously in nature. The book includes questions for teachers to use during recitations, but Loomis encourages students to analyze the sections themselves for a more complete understanding of the subject.
The purpose of this study is to trace the development of high-school curricula in the North Central states from 1860 to 1900. A brief introduction furnishes a background for the geographical area indicated. Part I contains a treatment of subjects and their organization into curricula. Part II deals with the subject matter of the various fields and subjects. Part III addresses subjects and subject matter in greater depth. For purposes of tabulation, the period 1860-1900 has been divided into eight units of five years each, to determine as accurately as possible the dates at which significant changes took place. In the treatment of subjects, organization of curricula and subject matter, the facts are presented as revealed by the sources consulted. No attempt has been made to give connected accounts of particular schools. Peculiarities of individual schools have been noted but conclusions deal with general practices and tendencies.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
