And then, as every one knows, the history of geography and of geography teaching is full of valuable sugges¬ tion; and when presented with a review of present-day theory and practice and with the psychological data upon the subject, the whole cannot fail to give us a far better orientation and the possibility of distinct advance in this much-abused branch of study. It is to be hoped that the various departments of educational psychology, now becoming popular in our universities, will recognize the great service which they can render, both to psychology and education, by such organization and concentration of data concerning the various school subjects. Of course no two authors would select the same mate¬ rial for such a work upon reading. I have endeavored to present the most meaningful facts, and those researches in which more or less definite results have been reached. Completeness of treatment and of reference is out of the question in a subject having such various and intricate ramifications. Some of the pedagogical principles suggested by the psychological work are still in the “recept” stage. In working over the material one comes to feel their truth and their applicability, but to attempt their logical state¬ ment or derivation would in many cases be premature
