The Natural Geographies
McMaster's School History of the U. S.

The Natural Geographies and McMaster's History were adopted for Columbus, at a regular meeting of the Board of Education, December 28, 1897.

In deference to the judgment of several members of the Board, the adoption of the geographies was subsequently reconsidered and again referred to the Text-Book Committee for further examination and comparison of books.

On the 28th of January, 1898, the Committee unanimously reported:

"We have examined the Natural Geographies carefully, and recommend that they be adopted."
