Abstract

Geography as a subject has had a very slow growth in comparison with other subjects of the school curriculum in our schools as well as in European institutions of learning - its growth has, indeed, been slow - from a descriptive stage, through the present pseudoscientific stage, to the ideal stage of the future: that of a philosophical science. This coming science occupies a most important position in a well balanced scheme of education. It should, therefore, be taught in such a manner, particularly in the elementary schools, that it will be productive of that wide, deep, and practical culture which its nature and content afford. What was called geography represented the first primitive effort to organize knowledge.
