seemed to be to have her pupils know tho length of all
tho rivers in the world, and the
peaks.' It is small wonder that
of tylis sort of educational setting-up exercise. Why bother
at Uie age of 12 with "bounding Utah, and make the cor
lici'lng of this fact a momentous educational process in the
lifcof tho child? Utah will always stay' where it is now,
and if for any conceivable reason we must know what state

1 Tho ueoirraiihv of today is a more humanized t'.Uiil
than was its predecessor. We
eign" countries in addition to
crs'wid lakes, are filled also with people. These peoplt
are' busy making things and they want some things' that
other peoples make. These people who live in other coun
tries believe things which in some rases are different from
thiilgs which we believe. They follow customs which seem
to (is very strango at times. Some of "inn speak a lan
guage which is not like the one we, speak.
More and more it is to bo this material which is to be
used, in 'the study of geography, if some educators who
ha;o looked into this question are to have their way. It
wil( bring about, they say, a better understanding among
nations; it will make for sympathy and a liberal outlook
on the part of the student. The emphasis is to be put
moj'C on tho peole and their ways of living -and thinking,
than on their physical environment, which was once about
all 'their was to the study of geography. And so it wiii
conje aUmt in the end that instead of finishing his course
in geography in the seventh or eighth grade, the stude'it
wil continue it through the high school and even in col
lege. For when it is looked at in this light, there is no end
to Ihe educational material offered by the study of geog-rahy.
