For the general presentation format, he gave the following conditions; the textbook
should be interesting, i.e. makes the learner interested in learning it, well written and
beautifully compiled so that it might win and retain users’ goodwill by virtue of more solid
qualities. (2) It should be well-illustrated with attractive colour, inspiring drawings and
photographs. It should be attractive, inviting, pleasant to look at and read, with well-chosen
illustrations that are well connected and sequential. (3) The textbook should be up-to-date in
content, frequently revised and reprinted when necessary. (4) The textbook must be complete
with its table of contents, illustrations, charts or other references. And for higher classes’
textbooks, he suggested inclusion of references at the end of each chapter for supplementary
reading so as to inculcate in the learners the skill of comparison. It should also include the
index. This is to give room for supplementary textbooks.
