gave the authoritieS anxiety, has been
safely garnered. The agricultural de-

below the yield Of 1913. France con-
sumes S0,O0O,O00 hundredweight and
since 100000 hundredweight is re-

be from 100000 to 80. o0o, 900 hundred

Charts for Commercial Geography

Commercial geography as 1t is now
widely taught In the public schools by
listing the various imports and exports of
countries and the products of different
cities fails to give a clear idea of the
relative Importance Of the materials list
ed. 1t frequently happens that the sec
ond or third item on list may have
only one-tenth the Importance OF the first
item. Because the three names are given
one after the other. the pupil is quite
likely to consider the three items Of
equal importance. just as three persons
may be of different height. yet of about
the same Importance. The graphic
method judiciously applied to schoo

geography would make a tremendous diff
ference in tho students grasp of the
