thankful that I succeeded in cross
ing the frontier with all Of my
material and papers coming this

frontier line is a good enough side
for me at present. I became sat-
is6ed before I got half through
Siberia that I should never be per

after the publication of my papers
no other foreigner would be al;
lowed to make Investigations
there, and l lost no possible op-'
portunity to secure accuracy and
thoroughness. I brought back
more than fifty pounds of notes,
papers and original documents,
many Of the latter from secret
Government archives, besides 500
or 800 foolscap pages of manu-
script prepared for me by politi-
cal exiles in all parts Of Siberia,

episodes in their lives. I visited

TEACHERS DEPARTMENT.
ARTHUR KiBLEH, EDITOR.
Oral Geography.

Oral Geography.
Tia. tie results obtained from the
teaching OF geography are not CON-
mersurute viii. the amount Of time
and attention given to the subject
must be patent, not only to every
teacher, but to all thoughtful persons
who have gone through such course
Of training as is afforded by the av-
erage school. As Z rule, students
leave school with less knowledge Of
geography than Of any other branch
in the common school curriculum,
with perhaps the single exception of
Uuited States History.
That this is fact every observant
teacher knows. and also knows that
this lack Of knowledge canDot be
ascrihed wholly or even mainly to
the limited time devoted to the study
under consideration. Its cause must
be sought fer elsewhere; and we re-
peat that our methods of teaching
and the arrangement of textbooks
are chiefly responsible for the poor
results usually obtained. Pupils do
not in the outstart receive clear and
intel!iglble conceptions Of the nat.
ural divisions OF land and water !;
such IS McGn!ains, rivers, straits,
sc. Their iiea of direction is. often
vague and confusing: Pupils are
taught S commit to memory the
definitions Of the text book without
understanding them, and the entire
study cf the subject is degraded into
new act Of the memory, in which
reception, Imagination, Judgment
and the Understanding are totally
ignored. Then too, our text books
begin At the wrong place in present.
ing the subject matter of geography,
and pursue ah indirect and unphil.
osopAic Way in attempting to arrive st
tie facts OF the science. Instead Of
commencing with such facts, as are
already familiar to the pupil and pro-
ceeding from them. step by step, to
the facts removed from his immediate
sphere OF observation, most text
books present, in the outset, the world
as whole, thus confusing tie learner
and bIuutinS his intellect by en-.
deavoring to make him comprehend
that which is entirely beyond the
capabilities of his undeveloped facul-
ties. Local geography, which the
beginner would be able to under
stand. and which would form an ex.
cellent basis for 8 more extended
study of the subject from books, is
not emphasized sufficiently by au-
thors Of textbooks on geography;
and teachers rs . rule, make but lit
tie effort to remedy the defect. AS
o result we find that many persons
have better knowledge Of the
geography of foreign countries than
of their own county and State. The
remark of a prominent lawyer of the
county to the effect that he had but
recently learned the true direction of
Edge6eld County from Newberry.
though he was reared and educated
in this county, illustrates this fact.
We purpose in future paper to
present an outline for the guidance
o. teachers who may wish to intro.
duce the study Of the subject by oral
instruction in County and State
geography. thus preparing the pupil
for more Intelligent and profitable
study of the subject as presented in
textbooks. S.

A friend of mine who travelled
in Russia last summer has brought
me the melancholy tidings that
the name of Mr.. George Kennan,
the accomplished traveller, who is
telling US more about the Rus
slams and Siberians, as q result of
his journeys through Russia in
Europe and Asia, than we ever
knew before, has been placed on
the Russian blacklist at all the
frontier custom-houses. My friend
happened to speak of Mr.. Ken
mans delightful writings to q
Privy Councillor in St. Petersburg,
who thereupon remarked: Yes,
we've had his case before the
Council, and we've determined
that he shall not enter Russia
again" I don't suppose twill
make any great difference to MI.
Kennan, for when he shall have
given us all the store of knowledge
he broughtback homR Russiawe will
have nothing more to learn. Ken
nan observes like a scientist, and
reports like journalist. 1t is a
good study in comparative Etera-
ture to read one of his papers
and then read one of the scrap
book and paste-pot productions by
alleged travellers, which our maga-
zines print ad mauseam.-Wash-

"THE CENTURY" IN RUSSIA.
Kennan's Siberian Papers.

F. W. Hollis, who was abroad
last summer, tells Of an incident
at Moscow, where he came in con-
tact with police regulations. Two.
letters which were addressed to
him were opened by the police be-
fore they were delivered to him.
A copy Of The Century Magazine
for July, which had been sent to
him by a friend, had the article
on "Count Tolstoi' and all the ad-
vertisements torn out, Being at
a loss to know what possible OBJ
lection there could. be to the ad-
yertisements, Mr.. Hollis intro
duced himself at police headquar-
ters as an American traveller, and
made inquiry as to why his maga-
zine had been mutilated. With
the hope of gaining the good
graces of the official, Mr.. Hollis
Yentured to suggest that there
were numerous soap ADVERTISE
ments in the paper, and that he
could understand from his obser-
yation that the importation OF soap
might be as dangerous as an equal
amount Of dynamite. The. humor
of his suggestion was entirely lost
on the officer, and it was with
some difficulty that Mr.. Hollis per-
suaded him that no ofense was
meant. The officer then gave the
information that the police objec-
tion to the advertisements was
that they contained announce
ments of ''irreligious books" Any
book is termed irreligious that is
not of the strictest orthodox Rus
sian faith. Police surveillance is
extended to newspapers as well as
to magazines. Newspapers are
not delivered to subscribers until
twenty-four hours after their arri-
val, and frequently have entire
columns obliterated with printers

Russia are dangerous to the Gov
