I ain going to approach a subject on which a number of teachers have not really given much thought. I don’t wonder at your pupil’s iguor- auce in geography—you who have no better plan of teaching map stud ies than having your pupils memor ize such questions as are laid down in text books. | lrv without associating the leading “ i geographical facts with most remark able events of its history. It is aj- , most impossible to separate history from geo graph v. However, in leach ing the two, we must st dy the geog raphy and history of a country. v Minnie Kaukkton. Denser, Ga. sockii.ouy.

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?

N and maps of the text books. 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 ‘‘Thank -yog,” when a service has been rendered, These atni otlie: 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 l.MVKRSU. UMHSE SCARE. “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 tiie I toiler pla e “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 all the important events have taken 1 tions that the depth of a wind trough place.
