The third grasped a tusk, and the fourth clutched the animal’s +tail.</p> + +<p>“Now do you know what an elephant looks like?” asked a friend.</p> + +<p>“Yes,” cried the first. “The elephant is broad and flat like a barn +door.”</p> + +<p>“What!” exclaimed the second. “The elephant is big and round like +the trunk of a tree.”</p> + +<p>“Not so!” cried the third. “The elephant is hard and smooth like a +polished stone.”</p> + +<p>“What are you all talking about?” cried the fourth. “The elephant +is just like a piece of rope.”</p> + +<p>Much so-called teaching of geography leads to just such incomplete and +fantastic ideas about geographical concepts. Very many children have +only vague, incomplete and incorrect conceptions of the things they see. +Like these physically and mentally blind men we are too often satisfied +with mere wordy descriptions of subjects when we might study the subject +at first hand if we would.</p> + +<p>This little book is intended to prevent the giving of information by +description, but to suggest ways of directing attention to those things which +lie within reach of the child’s senses, things which he might pass by, things +which are needed now to stimulate an intelligent interest in his surroundings, +things which are needed later for an appreciation and enjoyment of +his study of the larger facts and concepts of geography. If the larger +geographical concepts are to have accuracy and richness for the child he +must have his attention directed to his surroundings. The trite expression +<a name="png.006" id="png.006"></a><span class="ns">[p</span><span + class="pgmark">6</span><span class="ns">] </span>“from the known to the unknown” is good pedagogy, but there must be a +“known” on which to build.</p> + +<p>The book is based upon the author’s actual experience in the class-room +studying the children at their geography tasks. It has been her experience +that the efforts of the teachers to build broad geographical concepts +were of no avail because the pupils did not have accurate intimate knowledge +of the necessary home geography upon which to build. To correct +this defect she set about collecting and classifying the necessary material. +With the use of this material she not only found that the class teachers +had much less difficulty in presenting the study of the earth as a whole, +but that an interest beyond all expectation was apparent in the children.</p> + +<p>The following pages are valuable more on account of the things they +suggest than for any geographical facts which they incidentally present. +The book is not a text-book on geography; it is a compendium of suggestion +on the study of the subject. It makes little effort to present facts, +but rather it tells how to gather, classify and study facts. It is intended +to be used with children during the age when they especially delight in +the making of collections, and is intended to turn to a definite use this +childish instinct.</p> + +<p>Map study is based entirely upon the child’s experiences as he makes +plans of his schoolroom, schoolhouse, streets and city. The suggestions +regarding the study of things foreign to the child are based entirely upon +his experience in the study of the types with which he has become familiar +in his study of his surroundings.</p> + +<p class="rt"><span>Milton C.

The world is the home of +mankind. We can best understand the larger world by a preliminary +consideration of our own small intimate home. We therefore begin to +study geography with an account of the child’s immediate environment. +The school stands for the common home of the class. From the school we +gradually widen out our teaching to include the immediate neighborhood +with its buildings, and finally the whole town or community.</p> + +<p>We study the various types of people whom we meet every day, and +the industries in which they engage in their efforts to obtain the three main +necessities of human life,—food, clothing and shelter. The animals and +plants sharing the world with man and contributing to his sustenance next +focus our attention.</p> + +<p>The home neighborhood has its physiographical features distinguishing it +from other places and influencing the life of its inhabitants. The land and +water divisions in the immediate environment are studied as types, while +those not closely related to our home are reserved for consideration as each +one occurs in its local geographical place in the course of study.</p> + +<p>We must know something of direction in order to conveniently locate +the streets, buildings and physiographical features near our home. Finally, +we will try to realize the great size of the earth, of which our home is but +a small portion, by a consideration of the relationship of our community +to the rest of the world and to some of this world’s great diversities.</p> + +<p>As geography is a study of cause and effect, the early lessons should be +mainly oral. Later, in order to obtain a broad knowledge of geographical +data, not one but many books should be read. This little book aims to +serve as a bridge between the oral lesson and the descriptive text-book. +The presentation of many questions leads the pupil to think out cause and +effect, and to connect his present knowledge with the realm of the unknown. +Special care has been exercised to present facts only when facts are +<a name="png.008" id="png.008"></a><span class="ns">[p</span><span + class="pgmark">8</span><span class="ns">] </span>absolutely necessary, and only after allowing the pupil the opportunity to first +exercise his own reasoning faculties in obtaining the information.</p> + +<p>The excursion is an essential part of every geography course, and every +effort should be made to use this effective means of teaching.</p> + +<p>Four types of valuable exercises may be suggested in the use of this +book:</p> + +<p>1. The pupils may read the questions orally and give the answers +orally.</p> + +<p>2. They may read the questions silently, answering them orally.</p> + +<p>3. They may read the questions orally and write the answers.</p> + +<p>4. Finally, they may silently read the questions and write the answers.</p> + +<p>All definitions have been carefully avoided as tending to hamper the +free acquisition of ideas.</p> + + +<h4 class="secn">PART I<br /> + +<span class="subtitle">TOPICS</span></h4> + +<table class="twelve" summary="Topics in Part I"> +<tr><td> 1.

When you take a drink in our +school-yard what water are you swallowing? How +does this water get to our home and school? Pipes +run under the streets from the river to all the buildings +of the town. There are big pumping stations +on the river bank to pump the water out of the +river through pipes to the houses.

This is because there is no water to wet the earth.</p> + +<p>We all know that clouds bring the rain; but how +do the clouds get the water?

Look on the map for them. +There are light houses built on most of these capes to +warn the ships in the dark and in the storms to keep +away from the dangerous rocks and shore. A cape is +often a pleasant place for a summer home. There is +so much water around it that the sea breezes sweep +across it and make it delightfully cool.</p> + + +<h4 class="secn">4</h4> + +<p>Do you remember how we spoke of the river with +its many boats and steamers? There are hundreds +of rivers in North America flowing for miles until at +last they reach the ocean.</p> + + +<h4 class="secn">5</h4> + +<p>There are many high hills, some so very high as +to be called <em>mountains</em>. There is a chain of these +mountains called the Eastern Highlands along the +eastern part of North America. They extend for +many miles north and south. The scenery in this +region is very beautiful. The mountains are covered +mostly with forests of pine, spruce, oak, maple, chestnut +and other trees. These are cut down for lumber. +In the wilder parts of these forests live squirrels, rabbits, +bears and snakes. At places the trees have been +cut down to make room for fields of grain.</p> + +<p class="illus"><a name="png.097" id="png.097"></a><span class="ns">[p</span><span class="pgmark">96</span><span class="ns">]<br + /></span><img class="framed" + src="images/illus097.jpg" width="374" height="468" + alt="" title="" /><br />SURFACE MAP OF NORTH AMERICA.</p> + +<p><a name="png.098" id="png.098"></a><span class="ns">[p</span><span + class="pgmark">97</span><span class="ns">]<br + /></span>The mountains are full of useful minerals.

One great +chain or range extends the entire length of North +America from the Arctic Ocean down into South +America. Great forests grow on these mountains. +In many places are huge masses of rock on which +nothing grows, so this range has been called the Rocky +Mountains. It is always bitter cold at the top of some +of these mountains because they reach so high. Even +in summer they are capped with snow. Nowhere in +the world can more magnificent scenery be found.</p> + +<p>West of the Rocky Mountains is the Pacific Mountain +System.</p> + +<p>Gold and silver are mined in the Western Highlands. +In the wild parts of the forests, where no +people live, deer, wolves and bears may be found.</p> + + +<h4 class="secn">7</h4> + +<p>The low land between the mountains we call <em>plains</em> +or <em>valleys</em>. There is a Great Central Plain which +reaches from the Eastern Highlands to the Western +Highlands.

The Great Central Plain has some of the best +farm land in the world. In the northern cold part +hardly anything grows, but in the central part great +quantities of corn, grain, fruits and vegetables are +raised. In the south the plantations or farms raise +sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, rice and coffee.</p> + +<p class="illus"><img class="framed" src="images/illus099.jpg" + width="503" height="314" alt="" title="" + /><br />SHEEP ON THE PLAINS.</p> + +<p>On the western plains great herds of thousands of +sheep and cattle are raised.</p> + +<p>In the Great Central Plain are hundreds of cities +where the farm products are sold.

In the city mills the wheat is ground into flour +and the logs from the forests are sawed into planks or +made into furniture. The cattle and sheep are killed +and the meat prepared for our use.</p> + + +<h4 class="secn">9</h4> + +<p>East of the central part of the Great Central Plain +are five of the largest lakes in the world. When you +are in a boat in the middle of any one of them you +cannot see the land on any side. They are called the +Great Lakes. Their names are Superior, Michigan, +Huron, Erie and Ontario. They are all joined together, +and from the last a large river runs into the +Gulf of St. Lawrence. It has the same name as the +gulf.</p> + +<p>There are many other smaller lakes in North +America where the land is low and the water from the +rivers and streams fills up the hollows.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/22911-h/images/boxes.png b/22911-h/images/boxes.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644
