Excerpt from Topical Outline of the Geography of Europe, Developed According to the Problem Method and Including the Changes Brought About by the War
The Outlines of the Geography of Europe presented in the following pages forms a part of the final volume of a new series of grammar school geographies upon which the author has been at work for a number of years.
The pressing demand for an up-to-date treatment of the continent of Europe from a new point of view and one more rational than that found in any of our present school books is an excuse for offering the outlines before all the changes in national boundaries have been full determined.
The new series of geographies departs in a radical manner from the books and courses of study now in use. The grammar school course is made a progressive one, each country being studied in a formal way but once. It abandons the customary presentation of facts as not constituting good geography and substitutes for this the study of relations.
The present outline develops the conception of "relation" and presents Europe from the "problem" point of view. This gives vitality to the subject matter and in addition arouses intense interest on the part of the pupils.
