Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Riverside Manual for Teachers
In the best primary schools much attention is given to object and picture lessons, and to the occupations of the kindergarten, because it is now admitted that these develop the intelligence of the child, and pre pare him, by a natural gradation of exercises, for the special work of primary schools. The first subject treated in the Manual is, therefore, Preparatory Work, which trains the children to see, to talk, and to think, and serves to keep them busy when they are left to themselves.
