In thisS eries I have tried to embody the experience of a teacher and of an examiner. This experience has led me to several conclusions, wliich will, I believe, be confirmed by most practical teachers who are interested in Geography as a subject of real educational value: 1. That mapH in text-books cannot generallj be used directly with the text, as it is impracticable to have the book open in more than one place at a time ;but that their presence in the book hag led to a regrettable neglect of the A tlas. 2. That an eicesaive variety of type andO ther mechanical devices for classification confuse the average pupil. 3. That most testbooks contain much which would be belter learned from tlie A tlas, or which is only an unnecessary tax on the memory. Gonsequently, thisS eries contains no maps and little variety of type; and I have intentionally avoided mentioning, e.g., exact heights, distances or sizes, amall industries, and unimportant places. Wherever any definite comparisons are made, especially in Lesson 15, they are intended only for reference. L. W. LD
