Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography, Emphasizing the Project, or Active, Method
This book is the product of several years' experience by the authors in the directing of method courses in normal schools and universities. The "new geography," emphasizing interpretations as well as facts, has been heartily received. The modern spirit, however, has been imparted primarily by the geography departments of the universities, where the emphasis is placed on academic geography and the organization of geographic materials into a coherent body of knowledge. Both the content and method books of geography reflect the influence of the higher schools. The educator is not primarily interested in geography as an academic subject, but as a means of giving the child desirable experiences. He does not hesitate to overstep the boundary lines between subjects if he can give the child more befitting experiences. A practical man does not meet one situation that he calls geography and another situation that he calls history, but in the meeting of a situation he draws on any subject needed, in the proportion needed, to make an adequate interpretation. In his enthusiasm to organize educational content in accordance with the way that the world uses it, the educator has suggested the possibility of blending content subjects in unit situations under the name of social studies.
The authors hold that it is possible to organize the geography course of study in such a way that the dominant viewpoint will be geographic and at the same time will permit of the interpretation of materials about life centers.
Geography is primarily a study of the interacting relations of life forms and nature.
