MODERN TENDENCIES IN
TEACHING GEOGRAPHY
By E. S. SELL
Professor of Geography, College of Education,
. University of Georgia-
The most striking change that has come about in
geéography teaching In recent vears has been the
ghift from memory to thought as the principal pul‘-I
Ddée on the part of the teacher. All of the earlier’
books were decidedly of the memory type; many of
them, in fact, were organized on the question and
answer basis, and were :tudied in the same way
as the catechism. Some of the early books were
organized more on the type of an encyclopedia, be
ing classified compendia of information. There were
enormous masses of facts concerning boundaries,
capital, products, exports and imports, and other
statistics, all to be commiited to memory. These
facts were to be learned and recited by the pupil and
the teacher’s task was to see that they were
memorized. |
As contrasted with this type of work, the more
recent tendency is to make geography a rational
instead of a rote subject, and to stress casual rela
tions and principles instead of degnitions and facts.
The introduction of problems and exercises which
. ¢all for thinking is - noticeable factor in the more
recent bogks.. The various phenomena of nature
. and the geographic factors in different parts of the
world now studied in relation to each other, rathgr
than dealing with them independently.-This study
.of geography as a related whole involves a search
“ for general principles and for explanations of the
fundamental laws governing man's relations to his
_environment. .
;'MProbab]y the outstanding cause for an increased
-)'Ai‘n_lerest in the study of geography, especially in the
United States, has been the effect of the World war.
. This great struggle brought many of the nations of
~ the earth into direct relationships for the first time
in history. It is said that the populaion of about 85
_percent of the earth’s land surface was at war.
_ This involved an entirely new problem in interna
‘tional relations. It caused nations to become in
. terested in other nations which had previously
~concerned themvery little. Maps were very much
~ in_demand, not only for the use of armies in plan
. ning military campaigns but also for the use of mil
.. lions of citizens at home who were keenly interested
. in the progress of the conflict. Allies and enemies
- came in for a close study by the people of all na
tions.
- The World war, too, was fought as never before
with the aid of geographical experts to plan and
direct operations. Sources of war materials and the
- necessities of life had t« bhe discovered, under
. emergency conditions, in countries which had prev
,s‘;&'B]? not supplied them. The daily newspaper
i k“'flng the war was ful of the names of places
which had been of no interest before, and the public
formed the habit of watching the news from other
countries in a ‘way that it™“had not been domne be-
Jdove. When the war was over, the urgent problems
’0: the peace conference and the stabilization of
Europe continued to enlist the attention of millions
‘of people. Consequently, there has been a steady
demand for more information and a clearer under-
Astanding of the people of other nations of the world.
% The fact that the financial center of the worldl
_;&:fihfftt’d to America since the war has been no
| 1l factor in stimulating a new interest in social
%&phy.,\/ast numbers of investors have Abofij}_(t_
the ‘bonds of forbigh countries and of *foreign . in-
%&trial concerns since the war, and in consequence
they have become keenly interested in the condi
“tions in other countries which may affect the gafety
gfibt’heir investments. As a result of all of thete
;@mbined influences geography has now come to bhe
W& social tool to enable us to adjust ourselves to
%fither countries of the world, whereas formerly it
“Wag simply a collection of uninteresting and rela
vely useless facts to be learned for the mental
:!kerc!Se of the learning or perhaps an opportunity
iq__display a little pedantic knowledge.
3 ‘?he location of places is mot now considered such
gu important phase of geography but rather the
“Yeason for their location. The reason for the loca
%’:""ot New York city involves the study of har
s ‘and such features of the hinterland as the
%‘lifity of the soil, problems of transportation, the
“‘eharacter of the land forms as well as the general
“economic development. ;
“%1n the study of rivers, the problems of prime im
“Sortance is to know how the conditions in the vi
feinity of the river affect the occupations, the think
“@ng and perhaps dominate the very living condltions‘

owledge of its tributaries will become a matter
hat ‘'wilk_be learned incidentally. > |

ROOSEVELT VISITING GEORGIA
_Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New
York, and president-elect of the United
'States, is a visitor to Georgia, at his part
[time home in Warm Springs, He is here
[for rest and recuperation from one of the
most strenuous campaigns that has ever
{been waged by a presidential candidate.
| Before arriving in Georgia, Governor
'Roosevelt announced that his main purpose
'in visiting Georgia was to get away from
the trying and taxing duties of official Jife,
!and to give some time and thought to his
new duties and responsibilities which he‘
!will have to assume after March 4, when
he is ihaugurated into office of president of‘
the United States. |
! Of course, it will be necessary for him to
consult with some of the leaders of the
\party as to important legislation and poli-
Jcies which will require immediate attention
on his entering office, but matters of lesser
importance will not be entered into until
‘after he is well established in office and
‘with the machinery working smoothly.
‘Then it will be time for taking up minoc af
fairs, such as appeintmentg and re-organi
zations of departments, commissions and
bureaus. Much of this detail, however, so
it is understood from reliable inner circles,
will be handled by leaders of the party
close to the President,
An interim of about three months, and
then inauguration day will be the main
center of attraction for the people of this
nation. It is expected and believed that the
largest crowd that has ever attended an
inaugural of a president of the United
States will attend the Roosevelt-Garner in
auguration on next March 4, 1933. Regard
less of past party affiliations, thousands of
Republicans, who voted for Goveinor
Roosevelt will be on hand to take part in
the celebration. And, they should, for it
was the Republican vote that elected Gov
ernor Roosevelt and made the ‘country safe
for Democracy.
SECRETARY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The officers and directors of the Athens
Chamber of Commerce acted wisely in not
rushing into an election of a Secretary for
that organization at their last meeting. The
naw year offers much for accomplishments
in -he rehabilitation of this community and
section, A great deal depends on the selec
tion of the proper man for this important
position. There is room for improvement
in the commercial and industrial interests
of this community; there are opportunities
that can be developed that will aid materi
ally in overcoming stagnated conditions
\z-.nd reviving business in every line. A live
|and progressive policy should be adopted
by those in charge of the Chamber of Com
'merce, and a program of potentialities
.sh()u]d be mapped out and strictly adhered
(to throughout the new year. With such a
ipolicy lived up to, the people of Athens can
thope for the early return of better times
land an era of improvement that will be
,come sound, safe and substantial,
The selection of a secretaryi should be
given unusual consideration; these are no
times for experimenting, but they are times
that require ti.e best there is in us to re
build from a condition that has practically
devastated our vesources and taxed our en
ergies in the fullest to keep our heads above
\sfiinkting point and make buckle and tongue
meet,
THE BUYING SEASON IS HERE
Of all seasons of the year our people do
the most buying during the fall and
winter months. The fall months have}
passed and now we are entering the win-i
ter months. Our merchants have been look
ing forward to this season which they had
\every right to Believe would, in a great
measure, reimburse them in sales for the
lean months experienced during the sum
mer months., Such would prove true, if
our people would confine their purchasing
power to the local merchants and not di
’vide it with merchants in other cities. For
many years, Athens merchants have suf
fered at the hands of their own people.
That is, citizens, who do trading in other
cities. Some of our citizens, who make a
practice of trading away from home, do
80, no doubt, from the lack of forethought,
and without realizing the effect it has on
the business of the local merchant. If we
are to build our city and improve not only
our commercial interests, but our ecivie,
‘municipal and other affairs, then it is ab
,solutely necessary to trade with those
merchants who are bearing the burden of
‘taxation and keeping our community in
the limelight of progress. .
j It is a problem to solve, but when con
{sidered seriously, it does seem simple for
jeveryone to realze that self preservation
|should come first with us, especially in
\business for local merchants. If our pure
;chasing power is to be divided, the loecal
imerchant is bound to suffer; if we do not
\¢pend our money at home, we can not
thope to build a community that will be
prosperous and happy, but we will help to
lcreate a condition that will cause a strug
igle and an effort on the part of our‘
|merchants to meet expenses and to be
|able to contribute to worthy and deserv
ling causes, organizations, and institutions.‘
}Confin,ing vour purchasing power to iocal
channels is a safe investment and one that
| will bring prosperity.
