Superintendent of Schools, Providence, R. I.
This series occupies a unique position in that it combines the advantages of the customary text-book with those of the so-called geographical reader. It is thoroughly modern in placing chief emphasis on industrial and commercial aspects, yet ample treatment is given to political geography, which is taught in its relation to economic phases.
