PREFACE
Astronomy, it has been said, is the oldest and the noblest of the sciences. Yet
it is one of the few sciences for which most present- day educators seem to
find little, if any, room in their curriculum of study for the young, in spite of its
high cultural value. It is, we are told, too abstruse a subject for the youthful
student. This is doubtless true of theoretical or mathematical astronomy and the
practical astronomy of the navigator, surveyor and engineer, but it is not true of
general, descriptive astronomy. There are many different aspects of this many？sided science, and some of the simplest and grandest truths of astronomy can
be grasped by the intelligent child of twelve or fourteen years of age.
Merely as a branch of nature study the child should have some knowledge of
the sun, moon, stars and planets, their motions and their physical features, for
they are as truly a part of nature as are the birds, trees and flowers, and the
man, woman or child who goes forth beneath the star- lit heavens at night
absolutely blind to the wonders and beauties of the universe of which he is a
part, loses as much as the one who walks through field or forest with no
thought of the beauties of nature that surround him.
