Excerpt from High School Geography, Physical, Economical, and Regional: Parts I and II, Physical and Economic The most important thing about the earth is the fact that it is a human planet, that men not only live upon it, but make, somehow, a living out of it The earth as a planet, a machine which goes and works, an organism which has grown and developed in the past and will continue to do so in the future, has never been so thoroughly studied and understood as it is to-day. The main result of such study, under the name of physical geography, has been a favorite subject in secondary schools. Some special phases of human activity, more or less closely related to the earth, such as products, manufactures, trade, races, customs, language, religion, and government, are everywhere taught under the names of commercial and political geography. But these different kinds of geography are seldom brought closely together, and the crowning relationship of all geographic science, the relation of the human Species to its natural environment, is generally missed or but dimly seen.

Excerpt from Geography: Physical, Economic, Regional To prepare the youth of our land to be self-supporting, to intelligently participate in local and national affairs and to be useful and honored members of society, are among the great aims of education. The World War stimulated the reconstruction of our educational scheme, and in all parts of this country efforts are being made so to recast our courses of study that school-education may be of greater value in the affairs of life. In this work the secondary schools are being carefully studied. This is very important because comparatively few of our young people extend their school life beyond the high school. This means that the studies selected for this four-year period should be chosen because of their actual value to the average individual, rather than because they prepare a few students to enter college. That the future history of our country is to be inseparably connected with that of the rest of the world is now an assured fact. No longer can our national life be one of isolation, even if we so desired. To perform efficiently and justly our part in world and national affairs, we must know geography. It is generally conceded that geography is one of the broadest of subjects, and that it cannot, in its deeper significance, be grasped by pupils in the elementary schools. This means that geography should be taught in every secondary school, and in every institution of higher learning in the United States. The great need is for a fuller grasp of physical and economic geography and the regional geography of our own country. The report made by the National Education Committee in 1908 emphasized this, as did the report made in the same year by the Committee of the Association of American Geographers. In the present volume physical geography is presented as the necessary foundation. The work is fully humanized and many points which are presented in the ordinary course in physical geography are here omitted. The student is led to study geographic forms and processes, not as things and conditions apart from human affairs but rather in their relations to the life of man. Economic geography is presented because of its very practical value to men and women in every walk of life.
