TEACHING GEOGRAPHY,
The Text Book Course.
The first lessons in nearly all geograph
ical text-books are devoted to definitions.
In teaching a definition, the true order is
first 4o develop an .idea of the object
defined, and then to teach the definition*
When the terms have not been
taught in the oral course, the committing
of the definitions by the pupils must be
preceded by such oral instruction as will
give them dear mental pictures of the
objects defined*' All mathematical defini
tions should be omitted by beginners.
Much time and effort !may be. wasted in
an attempt to teach these definitions to
young children.. They should,' of course,
learn the names of the : mathematical lines
found on the maps* the names of the
iones, etc., and, by means of a globe, or
some, substitute for it, they should be
taught the shape and motions of the earth,
and the land and water on
its surface.
The definitions should be followed by a
few lessons on the map of the vrorld. If
tbe school is not supplied with an outline
map, one should drawn on the black
board. If this is impracticable, an open
atlas may be fastened on the wall.
essential thing is the placing of a map
before the class when reciting. In. these
introductory map lessons, the pupils
should not be required to describe in
words the location of the objects named.
They are not prepared to do this. The
teacher should name the continents,
oceans, zones, lines, etc., and the pupils
should locate them with a pointer on the
outline map, repeating tbe names. When
they can do this readily, the teacher
should ask fa&eriptite questions, as, “What
ocean north of Europe and Asia?” and
the pupils should answer by giving the
names of the objects described. The
teacher may next give the names, and
require of tbe pupils the location of the ob
jects in words, but we think this step may
be omitted in tbe first lessons on tbe
hemisphere maps. Tbe map exercises
should be interspersed with much infor
mation “thrown in” by the teacher
Many interesting facts respecting tbe
iones, oceans, continents, etc., may thus
be given.
1 The next step is the study of the several
grand divisions or beginning
with North America. How should the
continents be studied ? We answer as
fully as space will permit.
Let the teacher place an outline map
before the class, and, with a pointer and
by questions, call attention to the form of
the continent, its coast line, the surround
ing oceans, and the adjacent islands; the
great mountain systems, the river slopes,
the plains, and other prominent surface
features; the climate of the different zone
sections, and the characteristic produc
tions; the political divisions, etc. The
object of.this oral lesson is, to interest
the pupils in the continent and prepare
them lor the intelligent study of the
map.
Tbe first lesson on the map should be
tbe drawing of the contour or coast-line
of tbe continent, and the memorizing of
tbe names of the oceans and seas and the
larger guMs and bays. The pupils should
be shown bow to draw tbe map, : and the
names to be memorized should be written
on tbe board in their order, beginning
say at the northeastern part of the map,
thus:
Oceans and Seas. Gulfs and Bays.
Atlantic Ocean, Hudson Bay,
Carribbean Sea, Gulf of St. Lawrence,
Pacific Ocean, Bay of Fupdy,
Behring Sea,, Chesapeake Bay,
Arctic Oceanl Gulf of Mexico,
Gulf of California.
Tbe first work of the pupils in the reci
tation is tbe drawing of the outline map
(contour) on tbe blackboard. This being
done, they should severally point to and
name the oceans and seas, and gulfs and
bays, in their proper order. One pupil
should recite the oceans and seas, another
the gulfs and bays, and this should be
done rapidly, without any prompting
and without tbe asking of questions by
the teacher,
The next lesson should be tbe re-draw
ing of the coast line of the continent, and j
tbe memorizing of the names of the pen- ;
insulas and a few more of the important j
capes, the names to be written on the \
and the lesson to \>e recited as 1
above described. The succeeding lessons j
should be tbe larger adjacent islands; the j
mountains, and plains; the |
larger rivers (in systems) and lakes; the
political divisions and their capitals; the
chief cities, etc. The places assigned for
each lesson should be added .by the pupils
to their maps, and thus each should learn
to draw a complete map, neatly and with
dispatch. If for any reason the teacher
omits map drawing, (it should not be
omitted,) the lessons may be recited from
an outline map. If the school is not sup
plied with wall maps, the teacher should
draw the successive maps on the black
board, or, what is belter, have some pupil
do it. In every school there can be found
a pupil with such a taste for drawing that
a little encouragement will secure his
assistance in the drawing of the deeded
jnaps. The iessenlial thing, we repeat, is,
that the pupils have an outline map be
• fore them when reciting. In assigning
lessons, and during the recitations, the
teacher should stale “throw in” interest
ing fads respecting the objects, to be
studied and recited.
When the pupils can point to and name
all places or objects on tbe map, which
have been assigned by the teacher, the
)e,ssvns should be reviewed without a map
before the class during the recitation.
These reviews should consist of two
series of lessons: 1. The teacher should
ask deicriptive questions, and the pupils
should afiswer by giving tha names of the
objects described. 8. The teacher should
give the names of objects, and the pupils
should answer by describing their loca
tion. When the map has been thorough
ly reviewed in this, manner, the map
questions in the may he used
for final review and examination, Tbe
questions which relate to places not as
signed by the teacher in the previous
drills,may be omitted by beginning classes.
Their mastery wilt, however, give the pu
pils but. little trouble.
When the map is mastered, the next
step is tbe study of the; descriptive text.
The pupils should not be required to
commit this text to memory. In assign
ing each lesson, tbe teacher should “work
up” tbe text orally, making free use of
the pointer and outline map. .Many in
teresting and important facts have al
ready been given iu connection with tbe
map lessons. These and other facts can
be so grouped as to give the pupils a
lively conception, a mental picture, of
tbe features described in tbe text. Un
less, for example, the pupil sees the great
surface features of the continent, the text
describing the same will be meaningless
and without interest. Oral instruction
mast prepare tbe way for the intelligent
study of tbe text. Hence, oral and text
book instruction should be sandwiched,
tbe former being made the preparation
for the latter. If necessary, oral and text
book recitations may alternate, but usu
ally the necessary oral instruction may be
given in connection with the assignment
of the lesson. Tbe pupils should recite
first by answering questions proposed by
the teacher, and then by topics. Tbe
productions should be taught in connec
tion with climate.
We have thus imperfectly sketched a
method of teaching geography, which,
we believe, embodies the best experience
of the country, and which can be success
fully used in connection with any good
series of geographies. Its use in ungard
ed schools enables the teacher to instruct
pupils of quite unequal attainments in the
same class —an important advantage-
The oral course, possibly-the last series
of lessons excepted, may be given to all
the younger pupils, including those read
ing in the primer, first reader, and second
reader. A little mannal containing a
syllabus of the oral lessons, and also the
map exercises, properly arranged, has
greatly assisted many teachers.—E. E.

THE POL AH REGIONS.
second Lecture by Dr. Haye*.
The second of Dr. J. Ji Hayes’ course of
lectures on “The Arctic Regions,” was
delivered in Germantown at Association
Hall, one night last week, before a large
and fashionable audience.
In opening his discourse, the speaker
remarked that in tbe first lecture of tbe
course, on Tuesday evening, he had
taken bis audience just across the Arctic
circle.
The present discourse woo'd be almost
exclusively devoted to a description of the
inhabitants of the polar regions and their
manners and customs. Following tbe
line of discovery, there was everywhere
found a race of people called generally as
Hyperboreans, and variously known by
the name of Laplanders, Esquimaux, and
other names. These people doubtless
came from Asia by Behring's straits and
spread over the upper part of North
America. They are undoubtedly allied
to the North American Indians, by whom
they were driven from their hunting
grounds, at last finding a habitation with
in tbe Arctic circle.
The Hyperboreans that dwell in these
regions may be ranked as the strangest
race on earth. Inhabiting only barren
and unproductive lands, deriving their
only means of living from the products of
the sea, they are a vigorous, healthy and
happy people. He would select a single
specimen as a fair representative of the
race. This man he found on an island
in a fiord in the Greenland coast. As he
approached the island he saw a single in
dividual standing on a rock. He thought
he was the oddest looking creature he
ever saw. And though be had never
before seen a white man, as soon as be
saw the speaker he ran to meet and salute
him. The man was dressed in fur from
head to foot, the garb of the native Es
quimaux. He was about four and a half
feet in height His coat was made of the
beautiful fur of the Arctic blue fox. To
the garment was attached a hood for the
head, and there was no opening in front,
the coat being drawn over the head. His
face was a characteristic face, round and
flat as the bottom of a tub, and no nose to
speak of. There was a gap in the lower
part of the face, and above and below it a
row of bristles like a hedge in miniature
along a ditch in miniature also. The
cheek bones Were large and covered with
a thick covering of flesh. The eyes looked
as if the banks of the ditch had caved in
and left these two open places. So much
for the general geographical outlines of
the face. The dolor of the skin whs
rather more olive than characterizes the
complexion of the North American In
dian. The face is something like an old
red cent; the worn places on the more
prominent parts of the cent may be com
pared to the worn places on the face—the
nose, chin and cheek bones, that have
been rubbed and polished with oil, leaving
the other portions of the face dark with
soot and dirt that had been gathering

like soap, towels and water for cleansing
purposes has ever entered their tyAds.,
They clean their faces with the inside of
bird skins and polish themselves with the
feathers. The pants are made of white
bear skin. The boots, of sklh taken from
the leg of the hear with the claws left Ph
it, making theLwearer look like a wild,
beast. The underclothing tool WOifj
or bird Rkln, with tty'fw! or feathers
lamed In. Beside this man whom he first
saw, there were his pack of dogs, (de*
scendents of wolves) his three wives and;
seven children. The women dre& the
same as the men,' with the jexceptlon ot
the hood, which is a little more pointed
to accommodate the peculiar styles of
coiffiire. 1 The hair is done up in a hard
mass like a horn, rapped around with
sealskin. The effect is not picturesque
but the thing has many advantages.
When once put up it will last for a month
or more, until the thongs with which it
is bound have decomposed, and is. used
for a pin cushion and needle case. Hu
had often seen these cushions stuck full of
bone pine and needles, which is the only
kind they use. He came now tp - their
religions belief. In all his travels he had
not found any people who deny the ex.
istence of a God or the immortality of
the soul. The Esquimaus believe that
God has nothing to do with their lives,
that He only takes notice of them in death
He has nothing to do with the body, only
with the soul. God lives on a large is
land clothed witlt green grass, upon
which the sun never sets. In the centre
of this island is a great rock upon which
God is enthroned. From this eminence
He sees all the Esquimaux, but He does
not see white men. He sees thie spirit as
it leaves the body and remembers all its
past deeds. If He is pleasied He sends
His boat to bring the departed soul
across to His island; if He is displeased.
He lets it go to the other place. Upon
this island. Tare various grades of happi*
ness according to the deserts of-the can-
didate. In each grade there; is a row of
pots filled with flesh, and under each pot
a burning lamp to keep it boiling. The
higher (he grade the better the quality of
flesh in the pots. When the hew comer
arrives he is placed in his proper sphere
and allowed to walk around and choose
bis pot. When he has found this he has
nothing to do but ait down beside it and
eat forever. If not admitted here he
goes to the other place, where there are
no pots, no lamps, no sunshine —nothing
but ice, cold, starvation and dessolution.
When .the missionaries fiist began their
labors among these people they described
the abiding place of lost souls as a very
hot climate. This was just what the Es
quimaux'wanted, and the missionaries
were forced to change their tactics. Their
evil spirit is~a woman, and dwells at the
bottom of the sea. She has power over
all animals that supply food. If there is
a famine, they imagine the seals are all
held dowh by her, and they send a high
priest Co investigate the matter. r He
goes to the bottom of the sea, and if he
can reach and trample on her, the fish
come np and the famine is over. The re
ligions belief of these people is founded
upon the necessities of their life.
Next came the marriage ceremonies.
For the first marrige the bargain was
generally made for the bride and groom
in early life. The young man, having
arrived at manhood, proves himself
worthy of a wife by killing a polar bear.
He then proceeds by stealth to her fath
er’s hat and lies in ambush. He cannot
enter, nor must his lady love know he is
near. He watches his opportunity, and 1
when bis intended comes out dressed in
fine furs, he follows her and clasps her in
his arms; she screams and he lots her go.
This thing is repeated three times, until
at last he chases her, she screams and
brings out all the friends, the old woman
beats the lover with thongs, and finally
he captures her. He then places her upon
his sledge, binds her fast, cracks his whip,
and the dogs dash off with the happy
pair to the young bnsband’s but. The
friends gather and have a feast, and the
marriage ceremony is completed.
The language of the Esquimaux is dis
tinct from any other language. It has
no resemblance tol any of the Indian
dialects. They their fingers up
to ten, beyond this any quantity would
be “a great many.”
Among the works of art to be shown at
the next International Exhibition will be
a fall sized photographic'copy of the cel
ebrated Bayeax Tapestry. This unique
piece of needle-work is believed to have
been executed by the Queen of William
the Conqueror and her maidens, and rep
resents the battle of Hastings, with the
preceding and subsequent events. It is
230 feet in length and twenty-two in
breadth. Very soon after the. work was
completed by tbe Queen, as is supposed,
it was presented by her to the Abbey o f
Bayeax iapfarmandy, and is now in the
charge of the municipal authorities of
that oity. During the Franco-German
war the tapestry was rolled up and hid
den, but has since been restored to its
place in tbe public library.
It is a fact worth noting, that while in
most of the savings banks in -Massachu
seets the male depositors greatly outnum
ber the female, yet in large paper mak
ing towns there is almost an equality be
tween tbe two sexesdn this respect.
Pbbhaps the most absurd, idea yet
broached is that of a chess player who
proposes tbe establishment of a chair at
West-Point, claiming that tbe game
teaches military strategy.
