the great difficulty in our educational

Neck, for instance. not only should
geography be taught but the history
OF that section. stress being laid upon
the lives Of Washington and Lee, and
/ that these lessons in geography ana
I history should be used as the basis
I of language lessons. Thus the three
subjects are correlated and not
+ taught separately, one without ref
( erenee to the other.
