182 SCHOOL SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

(1) All those scheduled for the program were present and read theirown papers.

(2) The papers read had been carefully prepared and each had a bearingon some vital phase of geography teaching. The papers were presentedas follows:

(1) Dr. Brown, President of State Teachers’ College, DeKalb, openedthe meeting by stating, in a convincing manner, the need for geographyin all Secondary Schools.

(2) Mr. V. I. Brown, Principal of the Community High, Watseka,clearly stated in his paper what the public has a right to expect of thegeography teacher in High School.

(3) Miss Ulrich showed, from her own experience, that it is possibleto conduct High School field trips that function in the geography work.

(4) Mr. Buzzard gave valuable suggestions as to specific governmentpublications that he had found useful in teaching geography.

(5) Mr. R. R. Robinson, of the Joliet Township High School, explainedsome original short-cut methods used in his laboratory work grading.In the Round Table Discussion which concerned the teaching of High

School Geography, Dr. Jones definitely stated his opinions which, briefly,may be put under four main heads:

(1) The need of geography in High School.(2) The place for geography in the High School course.(3) The content of the geography course.(4) The organization of the geography material taught.In the brief discussion that followed, those contributing were unani-

mously in sympathy with the general plan suggested. The questionsthat arose concerned ways and means of getting some such plan intooperation, and of adjusting such a course to its proper place in the cur-riculum. The question of the technique of teaching was brought up,but lack of time prevented any discussion.

It is to be regretted that more geographers were not present, but thosewho did come were optimistic about geography teaching and determinedto’ boost the cause in every way.At the election of officers, Miss Katherine Ulrich was made Chairman,

Mr. A. F. Ewers Vice-Chairman, and Miss Mary Robb Secretary.Since the meeting, Miss Ulrich has appointed a standing committee,

consisting of Mr. Robert Buzzard, Chairman, and Mr. Ewers and MissWashburn.

Respectfully submitted,MABEL WASHBTTRN.
