Excerpt from World Remapped: A Summary of the Geographical Result of the Peace Settlement After the World War

The years succeeding 1914 have been a period of awakening. The critical events of these years have led our country out of its isolation to world leadership. There never was a time when so many of our people were so interested in geography and maps. This new interest brought with it the knowledge that we as a nation were deficient in the production and use of good maps. The need was especially felt in the schools.

Educators thruout our land had preached in season and out of season for better and more accurate school maps, as a factor in. the better coaching of history and geography, and its preparation of the Individual for citizenship.

With the coming of the great World War and its subsequent political and economic changes, leaving no part of our world relations untouched, there came the opportunity to a few men in America to build anew, school maps that would embody the new ideals and teach the new world political conditions. In such an atmosphere the house of Denoyer-Geppert was born in Chicago.

Ideals

It was very natural that, as educators had pointed the way to better things in school maps, the first thing that the new company should do was to seek a working alliance with these far-seeing men. These educators supplied the Method.

To Method there needs to be added knowledge: - Scholarship, which is the basis of map accuracy.

To Method and Scholarship there is but one more thing to add to complete the ideal: - Craftsmanship. The method of the educator, the knowledge of the scholar, the craftsmanship of the artist, arc all embodied in the products of the Denoyer-Geppert Company.
