An Evening in Autumn(Social Studies)/Google Books

" The name of this newly invented game," said she, "shall be the Useful Amusement, because it will combine use with pleasure. Each of you being provided with a pencil and paper, shall write a question—ask something you wish to know; as, What is coffee ? What is tea ? and so on. Now, since these different things may come from different parts of the world, we will have maps laid ready upon the table, to look for each place.


Tea comes from China—we will look for China; Coffee from Arabia—well, we will then find Arabia. And in this manner you will learn two things at once, and gain knowledge even whilst you play."


"That will be delightful," said Charlotte, a clever little girl about eight years old; " but who is to answer our questions?"

The Children's Picture-book of Useful Knowledge/Google Books

Title The Children's Picture-book of Useful Knowledge
Author Meredith Jones
Publisher Bell and Daldy, 1862
Length 260 pages
Overview

"Preface: In the 'Children's Bible Picture-Book', I told my little friends about God; how He made the world, with every living thing upon it, and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live, as a man, in it, that He might at last bring us to live with Him in heaven. In the Picture-Book of great and good men, I told them about men who had done great, or good, or useful deeds. I shall now tell them something about food, clothing, and shelter; for I sometimes hear children asking questions about these things, when there is no one at hand to answer them. Here they can read for themselves what they want to know, and when they have finished, they may, if they like, turn to the questions at the end of the book, and find out how much they remember of what they have read. For reading, without remembering, I must tell them, is of very little use."
