PRACTICAL COURSE
In GEOGRAPHY STUDY
TEXTURE OF N. Y. y. SUM
MER SCHOOL,
Teachers from Various States to
Observe Export and import
Methods at Piers.

There IS summer treat coming to the great
army Of longshoremen who toll the piers OF
New York's waterfront. School teachers from all
parts of the United States to visit these piers
and study the practical methods by which incom-
ing ard outgoing commerce Is handled This OBJ
servation study the part of the teachers is an
outgrowth of the foreign system OF preparing
teachers Of commercial geography to instruct their
pupils Just how grain. COAL rubber and other
products exported from or imported into their
countries. In European countries. notably IN Ger
many and Switzerland. teachers and students ex-
cursons to the piers and freight depots form q
regular part of the school work. experience having
proven that the child instructor who has act
uaIly seen exports imports handled Is better
fitted to study the manifold interests and indus
tries OF his country and understand how these in
dustries are related to the general commerce OF
the world than the person who has merely studied
a collection of statistics from textbook.
The school teachers who are to invade New
York's waterfront this summer will be students OF
the commercial geography course at the New York
University's Summer School The university has
planned the course to meet the increased demand
for practically trained instructors OF geography

Not quite so bad as that in Berlin, for If you
are willing to first order botte of wine, which
you may drink or give TO the waiter put in

graciously permitted to drink much beer as
you have a taste for. If you teetotaler,
or won't order wine, then you can get neither
food nor beer, and may the devil take you for
troubling them. For this, the Berliner has to
thank the wine trust, which controls the fash

to the significant division of all restaurants into
two classes-the wine restaurants and the
beer restaurants. Aubrey Lanston, in The

VALUE OF NEW METHOD.

Dr. Charles T McFarlane, who will conduct this
new geography course at the Summer School. said
recently that prominent educators have appreciated
for some time that new method Of teaching
geography was needed in the schools of this coun-
try.
The teaching Of geography in its every branch
has greatly changed during the last twenty to
twenty-five years. he said During that time the
notion has grown, and has come to be con-
with children is 10 take them out of doors in
their home locality to study the physical and in
dustrial conditions as they found there. This
movement has gone far that the State Depart
rnent of Education. In its elementary syllabus pre-
pared for the public schools for the State OF New
York advocates this of work as Introductory
work in geography
The taking Of geographical excursions is abso-
uteIy necessary for this OF study. and IL has
been already practised in the better class OF
schools in different parts OF country for some
time OF course in many of the inland states 1t
is a physical impossibIiity 70 take the children to
waterfronts to study commerce, and IL is IN these
states that the value of the practically trained
teacher of commercial geography Is most apparent
vSuch teacher has had the opportunity to study
waterfront commerce. end hence Is better fitted TO
paint a vivid word picture for her pupils of the
handling of imports and exports than the teacher
who has merely acquired her knowledge from
textbooks. Educators recognize this fact. and

REMARKABLE RUIN

By FRENCH ARMY
OFFICER.
Mattress Hare Queer Legend about
1t, but Real Origin Shouded
in Mystery.

French army officer, H. de Bouillane De La
coste, has in the course of recent tour OF e3-
ploraton in Persia discovered ruined city OF re-
markable interest the Plain Of Naizar, In the
district of SeIstan in the eastern part Of the Shsh
domain. The ruins well enough preserved 10 sho"
that high state of civilization once existed in the
city, are in curious sort of intermittent fsiand
formed by the annual fnundatiop of the plain from
which rises the rocky hill which the city stands
Except In July August and September. II is go
strangely isolated in its watery surroundings that
the people of SeIstan invest it with ali sorts of
legends and superstitions. The sacred mountain OF
Koh-i-kouadja, 1t is called.
'L'Illustraton,' which published the other day
some pictures and notes from NJ de Lacoste's jour
nal, shows that the tombs in this city go back as
far tho seventh century. but apparently archao-
logical science has still chance to do startling
things with the reconstruction of these ruins- Only
legend and suppostion, far can account for the
sudden desertion of admirable stronghold as
this Persian Mount St. Michele must have been.
