Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Teaching Geography The grand distinction between Man and other creatures is that he can advantage of his environment, so as to modify his development in any desired direction. - Mill. Practical value. - Geography has a place in the curriculum on account of its practical utility and cultural value. Its usefulness is apparent from the mere statement of the definition of geography as the description of the habitat of man, and of his physical and psychical adjustment to his environment. Geography teaches place relations. This knowledge is applied in daily life in finding one's way about the home community, in reading and conversation, in sending letter or parcels, and business. The commercial world depends upon geographical information. The importer must know where his wares may be obtained, and by what routes they may be shipped most cheaply.

Excerpt from The Realistic Teaching of Geography: Its Principles in and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods Errors and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods Few subjects are less skilfully taught in our Schools than Geography; nay, as a whole, along with History, it would not be far wrong to say that it is the worst taught of common subjects. It is usually traversed with the greatest care and even hard work, but it is made, in general, a painful process of mere memory grind, with the minimum of intelligence. AS remarked by Fitch,1 it is often most ostentatiously offered to the examiner when the teaching is weakest in intellectual training, and it is a favourite subject with mechanical teachers. It is generally deemed easy to teach, like its abused companion, History. In reality, it is not easy - nay, it is difficult to do really well; the elements of misconception by the pupils are SO numerous and so great, and the temptations to the misuse of memory are so strong Rightly taught, there is no more valuable, informing, or fascinating study nor any one more pleasantly and highly intellectual.
