SCHOOL ROOM MAPS.

ern city is interesting as side prob
lem raised by the war For three
years he had postponed ordering much
needed new school room maps, wait

future boundary lines. But the war
has refused to be so obiging And
this fall the superintendent has reluct.
antly placed his order for old maps
giving the old national territories and
outlines.
II is to be hoped that the study OF
geography, isn't being held up by the
war. And when you come right down
to 1t. why aren't the old maps quite
as useful as the new ones would be
