"Mr. Johonnot has made a good book, which, if
judiciously used, will stop the immense waste of time
now spent in most schools in the study of geography to
little purpose. The volume has a good number of
appropriate illustrations, and is printed and bound in
almost faultless style and taste."--_National Journal
of Education._
A Natural History Reader, for Schools and Homes. Beautifully
illustrated. 12mo. Cloth.
"The natural turn that children have for the country,
and for birds and beasts, wild and tame, is taken
advantage of very wisely by Mr. Johonnot, who has had
experience in teaching and in making school-books. His
selections are generally excellent. Articles by
renowned naturalists, and interesting papers by men
who, if not renowned, can put things pointedly,
alternate with serious and humorous verse. 'The Popular
Science Monthly' has furnished much material. The
'Atlantic' and the works of John Burroughs are
contributors also. There are illustrations, and the
compiler has some sensible advice to offer teachers in
regard to the way in which to interest young people in
matters relating to nature."--_New York Times._
