Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Teaching Geography

The grand distinction between Man and other creatures is that he can advantage of his environment, so as to modify his development in any desired direction. - Mill.

Practical value. - Geography has a place in the curriculum on account of its practical utility and cultural value. Its usefulness is apparent from the mere statement of the definition of geography as the description of the habitat of man, and of his physical and psychical adjustment to his environment.

Geography teaches place relations. This knowledge is applied in daily life in finding one's way about the home community, in reading and conversation, in sending letter or parcels, and business.

The commercial world depends upon geographical information. The importer must know where his wares may be obtained, and by what routes they may be shipped most cheaply.
