STUDY OP tfKOUHAPHY 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. PLANT SYSTEM.
