GEOGRAPHY.

1. Physical Geography.—Recitations from the text will be supplemented
by lectures and class discussion. After a consideration of the
more widely accepted theories of earth-origin, attention will be given
to the planetary relations of the earth, particularly with reference to
an understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere and
the consequent data of climate. Weathering, stream work, relief as
influenced by rock texture and structure, and their relations to man's
activities, will be studied as far as possible in the local vicinity. Laboratory
work will be conducted in small squads. Students will be
made familiar with the use of topographic maps and other aids in
teaching.

Text-Books.—Davis' Elementary Physical Geography; Davis' Practical
Exercises in Physical Geography.

2. Geographic Influences.—This is a culture course combining recitations
and lectures, and is designed for high school and normal

school teachers, and college students. Its scope includes the relations
generally treated in texts on commercial and economic geography,
in addition to emphasizing the broad fundamental relations
between the organic and inorganic realms. Lantern slides will be
used.

Geography.

3. Primary and Grammar School Geography.—This course is designed
to meet the needs of teachers of primary and grammar grades
and includes the drill in subject matter needed to meet the requirements
of the State examination for a first grade certificate. 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 so-called 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—maps, globes, models, pictures, etc.

Text-Books.—The course will be based on Frye's Geographies.

Section I, daily from 10:30 to 11:30; Section II, daily, from 3:30 to
4:30. Professor Carney. Rotunda, Room 4.
