MANNERS, CUSTOMS AND COSTUMES OF FOREIGN NATIONS

N APPS are fascinating to the ma
ture mind which sees landscapes

figure distances and conjure up
2 mental picture of the country from
an ordinary fat geographical repre-
sentation. But TO the childs mind
mans are dull and uninteresting. Riv-
ers mountain chains and rugged coasts
mean nothing to II as IL sees them on
paper or on the blackboard That Is
why maps and dry descriptions OF for
efSn countries are being abandoned
in some schools and dolls substituted
for primary Biographies.
The experiment Of using dolls for
educational purposes has been made
with success in some Of the schools of
this country. and II has been suggested
that for primary work this kind Of
pictorial geography would be of in
finite value both in interesting the
children and in teaching them the man
ners. customs and costumes OF foreign
lands. The dolls are dressed in the
national costume Of the country they
represent and each one conveys 70 the
child's mind the chief characteristics
OF that country. For instance. Japan
ceases to be an island, with the ont
lines OF an overdone fritter. and be-
comes a land of rich coiors, Of quaint
dress and customs, unlike our own,
when IL is studied through the medium
ot doll; while Italy is not only a
country shaped ike a boot, but a land
OF bright appareled men and women,
some with blue eyes and light hair,
some dark with brilliant coloring and

As the geographic dolls have the
complexion and the racial features of
the country they represent the young
pupil becomes familiar with these char
acteristtcs while he learns those Of the
country itself. and by studying the COS

Blake. principal of one of the largest

to be experimental with TO find out
what is both interesting and instruc-

lesson-that is. the average child
will-than out OF any ordinary class
room lesson.
A primary teacher who Is delighted
over this novel way Of teaching gecg-
raphy asserts that IL has met with
hattering success In her classes "Geog-
raphy is not a popular study with
young classes when IL is taught In the
old fashioned way, but when dolls are
substituted for. or at least made . part
of, the book lessons the children listen
attentively. they remember better and
they display q commendable interest
in the various countries we study" she
said. children who get their knowl-
edge OF foreign people and lands from
books and the ordinary methods OF in
struction lose the pictorial part OF such
study; they do not acquire that broad
understanding which is evidenced by
the doll pupils. This know from the
questions that are asked by the doll
classes. The object lesson Is a paint
ing to them: they study its light and
shade. it's harmony and its meaning.
and then they get along with this a
very practical idea OF people aud thar

plan to choose methods that have this

"Dolls representing the children Of
foreign countries would interest little
boys as well as girls. and the playtime
would be heightened by having such
object lessons. Our children are near
