What reading level is The Teaching of Geography in Elementary Schools book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is only through the proper use of the scale that any one can get an idea of relative areas and of distance. Graphic representations of relative areas by means of an insert of a unit area like Kansas, Ohio, or the British Isles is helpful, but such an insert cannot be applied accurately in measuring any large area. The scale, which can easily be applied to the map by means of a divided rule, can, on the other hand, be used readily even by the beginner. Maps with diflEerent scales should be co...mpared, and distances and areas, drawn to different scales, should be contrasted until the learner sees the need of adopting a scale in any map and acquires the habit of alwajrs using it in reading a map.
Inasmuch as all the maps of large areas in common use are distorted more or less, particularly in the regions represented about the edges of the maps, the knowledge of the use of scale must be supplemented by the study of the form of projection adopted. Children usually come early in contact with maps on a Mercator projection, where the distortion of the areas in the higher latitudes is enormously great.
