Geography.

Don’t make too much of your textbook when, teaching geography. It is a wise teacher who can make a judicious selection of facts worth teaching to his pupils. The text-book should supplement the teacher’s instruction; it should not* be the solo source of information and inspiration. Dr. Elliott said: “Most of tho geographies contain an extraordinary amount of matter not only useless to the few who can master it but injurious to tho many who-cannot." Toach geography to your pupils as you wish it had been taught you when you went to school. Goldthwaito’s Geographical Magazine.
