Geography is one of the five elementary studies of primary importance that occupy the attention of the child at school. Its significance may be readily seen by a brief glance at the whole course of study - which is designed to give the child a general survey of the world into which he is born, and, besides this, a command over the technical means of increasing his own knowledge by adding to it the stored-up knowledge of others.
