San Francisco: Harr Wagner Publishing Company, 1925. Hardcover - An unusually interesting textbook designed for use in the 4th and 5th grades in California. From the Preface "The purpose of the present little book, the first of a series of elementary school geographies, is two-fold. It undertakes in the first place to familiarize the child with his environment and to show how his life is affected by it. In the second place it takes him over the world, not a world made up of facts to be memorized, but one filled with strange and interesting people . . . It is not the purpose of the book to teach California but rather the home in California, and its relation to other homes scattered over the wide world." Illustrated with a color frontispiece ('From the Valleys of California... Home among the almond groves") and many black and white photographs (plus a few with color tinting). 210 pp plus index and list of illustrations.
