The International Geography (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The International Geography
The teacher interested in his work will not fail to develop the diagram matic treatment Of statistics, and guard his pupils against the delusion that there is any virtue in remembering exact figures of population, or of trade, or of other matters which are constantly changing.
It is a good plan to encourage drawing and colouring the flags of the different countries correctly, and to use the flag as the symbol of the country whenever it is possible to do so. An incident which occurred on the landing of King Edward VII. At Lisbon on an Official visit might well be remembered. A strip of carpet laid on the muddy quay proved too short, and was supplemented at the last moment by a large Portuguese flag: when the King came to the flag Of the country he was visiting, he stepped Ofl in the mud rather than trample upon it. The recognition of the flag as the highest expression of the individuality of a country has led to the introduction in the text of numerous illustrations of flags and colonial badges.
It is worth suggesting to teachers the preparation of an illustrated geography of the greatest interest by gradually forming an album of picture post-cards, each card being selected to Show some characteristic view or scene. Most picture post-cards would be rejected, but the few retained would be found Of permanent value.
