GEOGRAPHY.
The study of Geography is the least
(. satisfactory Of the studies regularly
pursued in our common schools. tt is
unsatisfactory,
First, because the time devoted to it
is very much greater than the import
ance of the subject demands.
Second, because a wide knowledge Of
the subject is Of comparatively little
value To the student in his dealings
with other men.
Third, because as a means of mental
discipline it is useless,
The question now arises, II What
shall be done with Geography? The
time usually given to this study ought
to be cut down at least one-half. The
subjects considered and the manner Of
considering them ought to be such as
will not only interest, but be Of practl-
cal value Keeping these ends in view
we shall attempt the answer to the
question
Primary Geography should be taught
ora5jy and in no other way. Let the
teacher procure a shallow box, made OF
pine boards, three feet square and three
inches deep. Have all cracks caulked
and thoroughly covered with melted
pitch. This will make The box water
tight. Place this box ON 9 table Of
convert it into a table by attaching
legs. Get the School Board to pay fol
this piece of furniture if you can, but
failing in this, pay for it yourself. I'LL
this to the depth of one and one-haH
inches with clean sand, and then pour
on water until the sand is well covered
Now you are prepared to teach Prima
ry Geography. You viii cause the dry
land to appear by fitting up one side
just as the bed of the original ocean
was tilted up, or elevated above The
surface by pressure from below. Con
tinenJs, islands, peninsnlas, i5thmuses
capes, bays, straits, sounds, channels
headlands, &c., can be formed by the
hands Of either teacher OF pupils, anC
defined from actual appearances. So
it viii be with rivers, lakes, hills
mountains, valleys and plains. Spruce
on other green twig8 win make foro5t
trees; little painted blocks are houses
and with these, cities are built. Peb
bles become boulders, and jagged bits
Of rock become lodges, and add matert
ally to the landscape. Let the children
fix these things, and as names arC
learned and terms described, let tbt
words be written upon the blackboard
and the spelling learned by all.
Here is work that IL play, and Geog
raphy that is interesting. Tt is Kinder
garten instruction that means some
thing
AS the class advances, show a mag
Of North America, and have il carved
out in yeritabie land and water, and SC
with the other grand divisions. Then
comes the II. s, and if the teacher
finds it advisable the several states
themselves. In all this the points Of
the compass should be duly observed
and differences in climate as far as pcs
sible explained.
Advanced Geography will be consid-
cred in q future article IT. r.

Perhaps the following timely advice
from the Troy Times viii enable some
OF our readers 10 improve their usual
Thanksgiving dinner. " As Thanks
giving approaches it may not be ami8s
to say a word in regard to poultry: AS
mnch, if not more, depends on the
manner Of killing poultry as i'm the
dressing, to have it look fit for market.
Too much caution cannot be used in
this branch of the business. One mode
of killing fowls instead Of Wringing
the necks, which we deprecatel, is to
cut their heads off with a single blow
of a sharp axe, hang them up by the
legs and allow them to bleed freely,
and pluck their feathers immediately
while warm. The French mode, which
is highly commended, we think far the
best, as it causes instant death without
pain or Disagreement, and is simply
done by opening the beak of the fowl
and with q sharp-pointed and narrow
bladed knife, making an incision at the
back of the roof of the mouth, which
will divide the yertebrR and causes in
slant death, after which hang the fowl
up by the legs till the bleeding ceases,
and pluck il while warm if you desire
the feathers to be removed. With q
little care the skin Of the fowl does
not become as torn and ragged as it
.does in the old-fa8hioned way of scald-
ing. Another thing, the flesh presents
a better and more natural appearance
when not scalded"
