How We Teach Geography
Editor’s note: Janet Smith graduated from the House of Education in 1911.[1] As a student there she met friends for life. In 1913 we find her at an “Old Students’ Meeting,” encouraging former classmate Daphne Chaplin to lead the small gathering of alumnae in “Morris dancing.”[2] By 1914 she was already on the Executive Committee … The post How We Teach Geography first appeared on Charlotte Mason Poetry.

On Learning Geography
It can be difficult for students to comprehend ideas which they cannot physically see in person. What means does the teacher have at his or her disposal in this regard? For example, how do we realistically convey the concept of the topography of a geographical area in a way that can be grasped more fully than when viewing a flat map?

Conference Lessons
Editor's Note: In June of 1915, the PNEU held its 19th annual conference. This conference promised an interesting feature: The morning of June 15th will be devoted to classes of children who live in or near London and who are members of the Parents' Union School.
