About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Geological Excursions: Or the Rudiments of Geology for Young Learners That the elements of geology are so seldom taught either in our primary or secondary schools is a circumstance to be regretted. No tendency seems manifest toward any improvement in this particular. In Michigan, which enjoys a justly high reputation for the excellence of its schools and teaching, even less geology is studied in school than was customary a dozen years ago. No kwledge whatever of this subject is required for entrance into the University of Michigan in the Classical Course, r in the Scientific Course, r in the so-called English Course - though in the last two courses the candidate is given his option between preparation in Chemistry, Geology, Zoology and Physiology. Of necessity, Physiology, which is generally taught in the schools, is almost always the chosen subject, though next to this stands Chemistry. Practically, therefore, the study of geology in the University begins with the elements in every course. A similar state of things exists in most of our colleges. There is course where geology is a prerequisite, so that the student on entering may find himself in position to push on to some advanced kwledge of the subject. One would anticipate that a course specifically deminated Scientific, would demand a more extended scientific preparation than the old Classical course, and that a science which has done as much for industry, civilization and culture as geology has, would t fail to be enumerated among the requirements.
