Abstract
THESE books, and others like them, are a welcome indication that teachers in schools are beginning to understand that children learn more satisfactorily by doing than by listening. The authors are experienced teachers who recognise that with the small amount of time available for geography in ordinary classes every expedient must be tried to select only practical exercises of prime importance. In these little books the practical work is all worth doing, and the instructions given are precise and to the point.
