GEOGRAPHY.

Professor Carney.

1. Primary Geography.—Home geography forms the basis of these lectures.
An attempt will be made, by conference and discussion, to outline a course
for the primary grades, keeping in mind the fact that the object of home geography
is to prepare the pupil for the larger field of geography. Field trips will be conducted
with classes of children to exemplify the observational side of the work from
the point of view of both the teacher and the pupil.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Physical Laboratory, Room 3.

2. Grammar School Geography.—Subject matter and methods of presentation
will be given attention from the standpoint of general geographic principles
and of good geography teaching, emphasizing particularly the life relations. The
course will also consider the application of "type studies"; the use of supplementary
reading; field trips; the extent to which commercial geography should be taught
in the grammar grades; the best aids in teaching, as maps, globes, models,
pictures, etc.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Physical Laboratory, Room 3.

In both courses the work will be based on Frye's Geographies.
