on which a number of teachers have
not really given much thought. I
don’t wonder at your pupil’s iguor-

no better plan of teaching map stud

ize such questions as are laid down
in text books.

learn, and as they are destntute of
interesting information, why have
them learned? The child cannot ac
quire tnuoh good by studying, and
studying over these questions, for it
cannot remember hardly half of
them.
Besides, geography must be taught
in a common sense manner. Not
only m map studies, but in descrip
tivo matters, are facts and questions
which are hbt interesting to pupils
It iB wrong to insist that a child
should learn these. Whiuh is better
for a child to know, that NewJYork
has 1,515,301 inhabitants, or, to
know the cause of its growth, some
of its principal industries, large
buildings, or bow it came to be lo
cated where it. is?
I agree with Mf. Roark on this
that map questions m our text books
should be ignored by both teacher
and pupil* and such questions and
information desired should be gath
ered according to some regular order

Geography has alwqys been learn
ed by the aid of maps. Map draw
ing is an excellent means of teaching
geography. The first thing to do,
aud it is riot without difficulty, is to
teach pupils to read maps aud to
find their place upon it. This
should follow the descriptive mat
ter. You assign a lesson on draw-
iug an ontliue map of the continent
and have pupils learn the names of
the oceans, seas and the larger gulfs
and bays. The drawing ot mapN
should be taught by some approved
method. It will be a good idea for
teacher to sketch a mapou the hoard
and have pupils draw it once or
twice by looking on the hoard then
draw it from memory.
One great educator has said that
the drawing of maps impresses a
country just as uopyiug a passage in
a book impresses the author’s lan
guage and meaning. But map draw
ing can lit oarrind too far, touchers.
Don’t make a bobby of it iu your
schools.
As to my general method of teach
ing mays, 1 teach as follows: I
draw a map of admit state or states,
or plaee one before them, and teach
them to draw directly from the
start. Though, first let them draw
map of school room aud yard. Then
let their imagination expand grad
ually to the town, conifly and state.
Say, we then take our state, we trace
the outline of statu, mentioning the
buundries; locate all the principal
rivers aud mountains, cities, both
inland and seaports; name manufac
turing cities and tell their chief maiA
nfacturing products; name plants,
animals and minerals and tell where
found most abundantly. Note then
bow many degrees of longitude and
latitude it extends; how many states
and countries are on the same par
allels. Also note the difference of
climate, resources, products, etc.
Then if we have any historical oitv,
where some battle was fought or
some other important event occur
red, take special notice of it.
Aud in teaching history, if con
venient, place a wall map before
them and let p:ipila point out where

Similar matters ars learned through
the instruction in etiquette which
a branch of sociology. The Sermon
on tile Mount deals largely with so—
oiology; that is to say, the Great
Teacher considered sociology to lie
the great subject next to theology
this term here being used in its nar
row sense.
The force and pith of the school
must be directed to train and diseip
iine the pupils to treat their fellows
rightly. We lately visited a kinder
garten and it was a part of oue of
the games for ftome of the boys to
pass their hands j ist over the iieads
of others; it was suoh a fine, oppor
tunity to pull the hair that we (know
ing school-boy ways) expected
would‘be done. As it was not done
inquiry was made and the reply was
“Children who have been to primary
school, are disposed to do it, and it
often requires a year to break up the
disposition.” This teacher (n noted
one) said that pupils acquired many
very bad habits iu going to school.
Let any one recall his own school
days, and he will agree to the state
roent that sociology was strangely
neglected. I go back to academy
days where the teaolier was a clergy
man, and yet where the persecutions
inflicted on Home df my fellow pupils
was quite equal to the hazing at West
Point. Reading in the Bible and
prayer was about nil that was done
by the teacher, who was universally
declared by the community to be a
good man

“Odd isn’t it?” said an old horse
man, according to the Chicago Tri
bune, “but a piece of white paper
blowing under a horse’s feet will
scare him when nothing else under
the siiti will make him bat his eye.
“There are old dray horses in this
toWn that would go on eating out of
nosebag if the crack of doom should
sound in the street. There are hun
dreds of them that would not wink
if a circus procession and seven
bands came by. A tug boat might
blowup in the river not fifty feet away
and they would not try to dodge

“But you can’t trust one team iu a
thousand to stand for the half of a
newspaper to oome blowing under
their feet.
“Why is it? I dontj know. If a
horse has any ‘bolt’ left in him
he will go at that. The automobile
and the trolley that are new to him,
don’t feaze him, but the scrap of
paper which has been with us tor
generations will frighten him into
a fit. ‘ '
Recent accurate observation at
Peterhead, North Britain, during a
storm, iu which the wind had a ve
locity of from 50 to 80 miles an hour,
have shown that the height of big
waves from trough to crest is about
40 feet. The wave crests were 22J
feet above the still water level, with
periods of from 13 to 17 seconds. If
tiie troughs had been as far below the
still water level as the crests were
above it the total height would have
been 45 feet, but there were indica
