he following is the paper prepared
read by Miss Edytta Cliason be-
> the Teacher’s Association on
unary 22nd:
The subject which I have under
sidevauon for this occasion is the
mportnnee of Map-drawing and
nd-modeling in the Study of Geog-
phy.”
First, I will endeavor to discuss
ap-drawing. My belief is that
ap-drawing is just as essential in
e study of Georgrapliy as the book
elf and in some instances it is al-
ost a failure to try to teach a
ild Geography unless you teach it
•awiug and oompe^it to study and
cite its lessons by the aid ot maps.
pupil has been taught map-draw-
g it then has a more accurate
nowledge of Geography than if it
ad studied twice the time it has
ith drawing omitted. Not only is
essential m the success of the pu
ds, for a teacher can insure no more
eneficial and interesting recitations
ban those in which be or she era-
-toys maps to illustrate things and
esignate places menlioued in the
esson.
Map-drawing as I understand it is
placing definitely in a child’s mind
the shape, relation and position of the
different places of the sui face of the
earth. IIow would anyone know the
earth if he or she had never seen
map of it ? Some, perhaps, will say:
“We know the shape of it because it
isround and anyone knows that par
tieular shape,” forgetting that unless
we had seen a map or drawing that
would illustrate that “round” shape
we would know no more about its
shape than the people who lived dur
ing the “Dark Ages.”- But after we
once see a representation of a shape
we afterwards liaye a correct mental
picture of it and know, when we see
anything, to what class it belongs.
To illustrate the use of maps, or
might say the necessity of maps in
teaching forms: When 1 began the
study of Geography my teaohdr told
me South America was triangular in
form. As I did not know the shape
of a triangle I was as much in the
dark as before. But 1 found the map
of South Anienoa and learned not only
the shape of that continent but also
the shape of a triangle, something J
have ever remembered.
One writer on the subject says
“The pupil by sketching maps on 1 connection
paper, slate or blackboard, fixes in 1 your stump.
V
than studying the same feat res for
the purpose of making an oral reoitst-
tion., Progj-esu by this method may
seem slow at first but experience
proves it to be the most rapid, satis
factory and thorough in the end. It
is further to be obsered that map
drawing furnishes an additional
method of convenient and profitable
class recitations, A teacher having
before her maps drawn by her class
can measuru the proficiency of each
pupil with a degree of thoroughness
not attainable under a purely oral
system of recitations.”
By personal experience I am forced
to believe that map-drawing should
go hand in hand with the Geography
book for if a child will speud even
one-half of the time learning to draw
that lie spends in trying to memorize
the exact definitions given in the
book his knowledge ot Geography
would be far more satisfactory to his
teacher. I have seen pupils come
languidly up to their recitations and
worry through the whole time trying
to give the definitions word by word
and if they succeeded in doing that
they knew nothing about the real
meaning of the questions they were
trying to answer. But if they had
been drawing maps and studying by
the aid of them they would have un
derstood what their teaolier was try
ing to teach them,
I will give an illustration of the
above statement: When I first be
gun teaching I had one Geography
class and every member of that class
had been studying Geography, or
rather, had been trying to memorize
definitions for three or four terms,
but their advancement was really no
greater tban it should have been in
one term. I had never been taught
map-drawing and, ot course, decided
I could do as my teachers had done
—teach without it. I taught the
same school for three terms in suc
cession and the advancement of ray
Geography class was very much bet
ter but still there seemed to be a
drawback somewhere in tbeir work
Finally I decided to adopt map-
drawing and at ouce found where the
greatest trouble was. The class soon
learned to draw very good outline
maps, and from that time forth the
progress was satisfactory enough to
almost satisfy me.
One very beneficial part of a pu
pil’s work in map-drawing is to let
him draw every state in the Union
on separate pieces of paper and then
by the aid of mucilage paste them
all together on a large sheet of paper
until the whole division of the Uni
ted States is formed. Other divis
ions of continents can be used but it
is better to let a child learn all he
can about his own country as it
more interesting.
As my remarks on map-drawing
are growing lengthy I will proceed to
SANDMODliLIlO.
This is a very important feature
in a pupil’s work from the time, he
begins the study of Geography,
though yery few teachers of the coun
try schools employ it. Sand-model
ing is just as important as map-draw
ing or the book alone. Of course,
we know a tree can’t live without a
root, and it there is a root and no
trunk it no tree, and if the root and
trunk arc there without branches it
is just a stump; so if you employ the
book only in the study of Geography
you have the root, and if you use the ^
book, and employ map-drawing in
with it you will have
But teach the book
was only employing part of the
methods that are necessary to insure
success. Perhaps sand-modeling was
the only thing omitted yet one brok
en link ruins the value cf the chain.
The real motive in teaching a pu
pil sand modeling is that it alone will
make clear the meaning of slopes,
tablelands, plateaus and various
things similar to those. Of course
in every lesson a pupil recites, sand
modeling is not necessary, but in
many of them the whole import of
the lesson is lost if it is omitted. A
child who has never seen but bas
heard the description of a mountain
has a mental picture of it but very
often it is an incorrect like,
ness. But if you will illustrate
one by the use of sand-modeling it
will be almost as effective as tbc real
mountain spread before theii gaze.
Lecturing to a clasB*has very little
bearing on its mind, neither has the
daily repetition of memorizing the
lessons laid down in the book any
greater. A child soon finds its work
monotonous and studies only to be
able to recite well. But it it bas
map-drawing and sand-modeling in
troduced in its work trial will noton
ly teach it what its teacher is striv
ing for but will serve as a diversion
from tbc daily memorizing of defim
tions. When all forces are working
together the pupil is learning Gcog
rapiiy instead of trying to cram his
head full of definitions he cannot
possibly remember louger than a lew
days.
The sole purpose of sand modeling
is to illustrate that which cannot be
illustrated by maps, so if you do not
employ it in your school you will
leaye a blank chapter in your pupils’
minds.
You can’t substitute sand modeling
for map-drawing, neither will map
drawing fill the place of sand-model
ing. It is just as reasonable to sup
pose that you could place your fin
gers where your toes belong and
prepuce as havmonious results as if
those organs were where God placed
them.
