Excerpt from The Eclectic School Geometry: A Revision of Evan's School Geometry Tns study of Geometry trains the eye and the hand in draw ing its many figures. It calls into action the reasoning faculty in mastering the demonstrations, and especially in inventing demonstrations and solutions for the theorems and problems which are left for the exercise and development of the pupil's own skill. This work demands earnest effort and the power of continuous attention. It is, hence, an excellent stimulus to those very useful traits. In order that pupils should receive a high degree of benefit from the study, they should be incited to self-effort. The pleas ure arising from victory in an attempt at original demonstra tion will be a powerful stimulus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
