Common Science
by Carleton Washburne
Publisher: World Book Company 1921
ISBN/ASIN: B002ND47EC
Description:
A collection of about 2000 questions asked by children forms the foundation on which this book is built. Rather than decide what it is that children ought to know, or what knowledge could best be fitted into some educational theory, an attempt was made to find out what children want to know. The obvious way to discover this was to let them ask questions.
