Excerpt from Canadian Geography for Juniors

Interest, interest, and yet more interest is the keynote to success in teaching junior geography. Yet how little we teachers know about the natural interests of children and how to appeal to them. We some times allow others to surpass us. The cross-word puzzle can hold children to their dictionaries for hours at a time, the cartoonist can make them more eager to devour funny pictures than their breakfasts, the news paper with its illustrated supplement and picture page can enthral them for half-an - hour every day, while we can often only keep them at their books by means of threats, detentions or other coercive measures.

No sooner does some new scheme or invention arise than newspapers, business men, advertisers, railways and governments instantly seize upon it to serve their ends, whether with pictures, puzzles, moving pictures or radio, while teachers too Often continue in the Old dull paths.
