Maps As Laboratory Material, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

If the study of physiography is to be made real, vital and practical, the classroom recitation should be ac- companied by some kind of well-planned laboratory work. The nature of the exercises should vary with the region in which the teacher works. Where it is possible to take classes out of doors to see the action of the various agents that are at work changing the surface of the earth, the classroom recitation is motivated in a way that cannot be secured from a mere verbal discussion. To make the study broader, the teacher should use the topographic map.

The Teaching Of Physiography, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

It is quite unfortunate that a subject as valuable as physiography finds such a small patronage among our high school pupils. This is probably due partly to the fact that there is still a lack of agreement among teachers as to the content or classification of the subject. In some high schools physiography is required of all freshmen. Often it goes under the title of "general science" or "modern geography."
