Excerpt from Students Laboratory Manual of Physical Geography The exercises in this manual follow the order of Gilbert and Brighams Introduction to Physical Geography, bearing, as in the Teachers Guide, corresponding section numbers. The figures mentioned belong to the Introduction, unless specified as found in the Manual. A few views and diagrams are here introduced as a basis for laboratory work. They supplement those of the text and may serve to test the value of such material for this use. About one hundred and thirty exercises are given, but it is not expected that any class will accomplish all of the work proposed. It is left for teachers to select according: to the material and time available. Other exercises might in many cases have been prepared, but the choice has been given to subjects whose illustration by maps or other means would require small expense. After a few added years of experience in the schools, we may hope to approach what might be called a standard series of exercises, though locality will always be a large factor, and will determine the subjects for work in the field. It is obvious also that the directions given for field studies must be of a general nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
