Excerpt from The Realistic Teaching of Geography: Its Principles in and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods Errors and Examples of Simple Demonstrative and Dramatic Methods
Few subjects are less skilfully taught in our Schools than Geography; nay, as a whole, along with History, it would not be far wrong to say that it is the worst taught of common subjects. It is usually traversed with the greatest care and even hard work, but it is made, in general, a painful process of mere memory grind, with the minimum of intelligence. AS remarked by Fitch,1 it is often most ostentatiously offered to the examiner when the teaching is weakest in intellectual training, and it is a favourite subject with mechanical teachers.
It is generally deemed easy to teach, like its abused companion, History. In reality, it is not easy - nay, it is difficult to do really well; the elements of misconception by the pupils are SO numerous and so great, and the temptations to the misuse of memory are so strong Rightly taught, there is no more valuable, informing, or fascinating study nor any one more pleasantly and highly intellectual.
