In geography and history the first year or two ofintroductory study is planned for the best schools inthe form of oral narrative and discussion. Home[Pg 11]geography in the third or fourth year, and historystories in the fourth and fifth years of school, arebest presented without a text book by the teacher.Although the children have already overcome, tosome extent, the difficulty of reading, so great is thepower of oral presentation and discussion to vivifyand realize geographical and historical scenes thatthe book is discarded at first for the oral treatment.
We have several editions of the stories adaptedfrom the Bible for school use. In the Bible itselfthey are not found in the simple, connected form thatmakes them available for school use. One of thebest editions for school is that published by Houghton,Mifflin, & Co., called, "Old Testament Stories inScriptural Language." A free and somewhat originalrendering of the stories is given by Baldwin inhis "Old Stories of the East," published by theAmerican Book Co. Both of these books have beenextensively used in the schools of this country. Theoral treatment of the Bible stories in the schools hasnot been common in this country, but it has all themerits described by us in the chapter on oral instruction.In fourth and fifth grades these books mayserve well for exercises in reading.
