Excerpt from Social Studies for Canadians, Vol. 1
Facts, suitable for children, are described in detail, sufficient to make them interesting, and in language, simple and graphic enough to make them clear and enjoyable. Yet unfamiliar or partly familiar words are introduced in such numbers that the child's vocabulary is being increased though his memory is not overtaxed.
The text begins with a series of chapters on the manner of life of typical Canadian groups, beginning with that of the most elemental, the trapper, and then treating the fisherman, miner, and l which show greater complexity. Then in a chapter on life in a C dian village, the civic influences experienced by children are st as concretely as possible, no attempt being made to organize t logically into municipal, provincial, and federal factors.
