SCHOOLS TO STUDY
OLD MAP Z YEARS
Contract Prevents Change
When Close of War Alters
Lines.

For the next three years, Wayne
county school children will have to
be satisfied with the map OF Europe
as 1T was before July 80.
County Superintendent Williams
said today that the county entered
into five year contract for the
geography supply, and this contract
has two years to run.
I'VE do not place the stress on for
eign geography we did few years
ago. Mr.. Williams said. Therefore
believe that we will not be seriously
disconnected by the changes which
may result from the European war.
The countries may change rulers but
they will be designated to some ex-
tent by their present lines, no matter
what tho outcome Of the war is.
"A few years ago, we would have
felt it of vital Importance to have
the maps up to the minute. OF course
we will make some arrangements
when things are settled, to have extra
text books or geography pamphlets for
the teachers which will make the
teaching of the new map very simple.
We do not make the children learn
boundaries as we did only a few
years ago and foreign geography in
struction is being made more general
every year."
