Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Reproduction of Geographical Forms: I, Sand-and Clay-Modelling With Respect to Geographical Forms, II, Map-Drawing and Map-Projection
IT is hardly an exaggeration to say that the average child learns more of the science of geography in his rambles out of doors, before beginning the study in his school course, than he learns from the text-book after his school work in that study begins. The reason is that, in the one case he reads geography in nature, in the other from the printed page. No matter how well and how faithfully the teaching may be done, the disadvantages arising from the use of words and sentences instead of things in nature, are too great to be easily swept away. Within a few years the importance of this fact has been so widely recognized by primary teachers that, in a majority of schools, text-book work has been largely abandoned in primary grades, and oral lessons, aided by the moulding-board and the study of natural forms, have very properly taken its place.

Excerpt from The Reproduction of Geographical Forms: I, Sand-and Clay-Modelling With Respect to Geographical Forms, II, Map-Drawing and Map-Projection
Sand- and clay-modelling with respect to topographical forms has become a legitimate and essential part of the course of instruction in the study of geography. But while much emphasis has been placed on the arbitrary order to do, little has been said on the subject of how and what to model, or how to interpret the forms when made. The moulding-board is intended not for the creation of forms, but for the reproduction of those already found in nature. A working plan whereby the more common types of geographical forms may be studied in the school-room, is therefore presented.
I have also added a few pages on the practical construction of maps and map-projections. To project and draw a 'scientific' map is often considered an unpardonable educational heresy. As a matter of fact, however, the 'scientific' projection is vastly easier, and requires less time than the bungling, meaningless diagram which commonly poses under the name of an 'aid' to map-drawing. I have therefore taken the liberty to present a few practical projections which are not beyond the comprehension of pupils in intermediate grades. There is also presented a solution of several of the more difficult projections which appear in school atlases.
