      Ge Zhi Xuzhi ，a set of elementary school textbooks compiled by the British missionary John Fryer，was widely used in the late Qing Dynasty and had a remarkable impact. Through the analysis of the historical background of the Ge Zhi Xuzhi ，the author’s situation and some textbook words， it can be found that the book emphasizes the separation of secular scientific knowledge and religious knowledge，pays attention to practical knowledge，and emphasizes the interdisciplinary integration and the theoretical system. When the books mentioned mathematical formulas，they employed both Chinese and Western translations. Also，the textbook content design depended on actual situations of students. These characteristics made“Ge Zhi Xuzhi ”more acceptable to readers，and built the foundation for its great concern and widespread use in the late Qing Dynasty.
