CHAPTER VII.

GEOGRAPHY.

My method of teaching Geography is not very complicated. The pupils are first taught the divisions of land and water, illustrated by black-board drawings and maps. They then take the "Geographical models" of the United States. They are taught to put them together and describe the different features of each State, and the United States as a whole. The lessons are altogether oral in my department—the First Intermediate. The pupils always become thoroughly interested in the models.— Emma Wheat.

We teach Geography topically in advanced classes— map drawing accompanying every lesson in both primary and advanced classes. Teachers are required to have some historical fact each day <f possible, and present it in connection with the lesson in such a manner as will interest the pupil.—5. M. Inglis.

Direct the pupil's mind in such a channel that he will learn to think of countries in their actual location. Thus teach a child that China is under Ohio and not west of it.— A. W. Foster.
