Well, scales are scales. The only thing I'd say Klosé adds - I don't know if he was the first, but many method book editors have copied his setting since - is that they're connected into a continuous etude that goes from major to relative melodic minor to next major in the circle of fifths to its relative minor, etc..., through all 24 major and melodic minor scales. It can be adapted - you can substitute harmonic minor scales, for instance. It does go through the flats (from 0 to 6) and then back through sharps from 5 back to 0, not 1 flat-1 sharp-2sharps-2 flats, etc., as some layouts do.
The thirds and arpeggios are laid out the same way.
