She brought out the fact that geography included many subjects, such as geology, phy- sics, metreoiogy. chemistry. zoology, agriculture, civics, astronomy and bot any, but she emphasized the point that these subjects should be taught sep arately and later connected with the general subject of geography.

 She said that the work in geography should be divided into three parts-ob- servation, location of areas and infor- national reading.
 She said that the purpose of teach ing geography is to teach the location of important places and to connect with those places useful and interest ing facts. t.The teacher should dis tinguish between geography reading and geography study said Miss Calla- han.
