GEOGRAPHY

It is the purpose in this course to meet the needs of teachers,
whether engaged in elementary or advanced work. It will provide
courses of practice value to college students. The work embraces
lectures and laboratory and field work in physical and industrial
geography. Lantern slides and other illustrative material will be
used.

1. Physical Geography.—An introductory course in practical physical
geography. Some of the topics are: Interpretation of maps; common
minerals and rocks; weathering; elementary meteorology; relief
features; origin of land forms produced by erosive agents. Special
emphasis on the relation to human activities of current geography.

Text-Books.—Salisbury's Physiography; Dryer's or Tarr's New
Physical Geographies; Tarr and Von Engeln's Laboratory Manual.

Daily, 9:30 to 10:30. Miss Kelley. Rotunda, Room 4. Laboratory,
two hours to be arranged.

2. Industrial Geography.—This course begins with a general survey
of national and international resources and necessities. A brief review
of the countries of the world and their principal products,
methods of production and preparation, surplus products, trade and
travel routes and general industrial and commercial development
will be given as a foundation. A study of population and the normal
needs of people of various areas along with the abnormal needs imposed
by the higher civilization of some areas, giving rise to industrial
and commercial activities will follow. A study of processes
applied to the principal articles of production and exchange in the
leading countries, the degree of efficiency wrought by education,
training, science and invention, the arts and crafts, and the relative
volumes and values of commercial products will conclude the general
course. The special work in the course is the application of the foregoing
to national and interstate commerce and industries. Illustrations
will be adapted, devised and constructed in class work as far
as is practicable.

Daily, 12:15 to 1:15. Professor Hughes. Rotunda, Room 4.

3. Aims and Methods in Geography.—Consists of lectures, discussions,
and methods of teaching local geography. The work is designed
particularly for teachers in the grades. Some of the topics
are: geography in the lower grades; use of the text-book; uses of
illustrative material; outline relief and produce maps; field and factory
trips; simple methods of teaching earth movements; latitude
and longitude, tides, winds, and wind belts; correlation of industrial
and regional geography to other subjects in the curriculum.

Daily, 4:30 to 5:30. Miss Kelley. Rotunda, Room 4.

4. Review of Grammar School Geography.—This course is designed
to meet the needs of those intending to stand the examination for
first grade certificates and includes a thorough drill in general geography
based upon Fry's Geography which is in use in the grammar
schools. Effective methods of teaching will be exemplified and emphasized
along with the matter used. Illustrative and constructive
methods, to make the study and teaching concrete, will be demonstrated,
and the selection and classification of really essential data
will be a feature of the study.

Daily, 10:30 to 11:30. Professor Hughes. Rotunda, Room 4.

5. Course in Constructive Illustration.—This course includes the
making of various forms of school apparatus such as blackboard
easels, color outfits, charts, globes, drawing models and arithmetical
apparatus. It increases accurate knowledge, teaching power, and
skill; and furnishes apparatus the use of which is learned through and
with the making.

Daily, 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Hughes. Rotunda, Room 4.
