THE MOON 91 



Geography for Schools, by Alfred Hughes (Oxford, 1887), which is not "practical " 

 in the sense of describing experiments, but gives interesting geometrical con- 

 structions for the problems connected with time, etc. A Nautical Almanack 

 is indispensable for detailed practical work such as that suggested here ; a useful 

 one is Brown's Comprehensive Nautical Almanack, published annually at Glasgow. 

 Many useful points for the teacher are also given in the Royal Geographical 

 Society's Hints to Travellers, many editions. A pamphlet called The Practical 

 Teaching of Geography in Schools and Colleges, by Dr. Morgan (London, 1906), is 

 full of useful suggestions, and there are now many small text-books on practical 

 geography which deserve to be consulted. A very interesting and simple account 

 of the movements of the heavenly bodies will be found in The Heavens and Their 

 Story, by A. & W. Maunder (London, 1908), which has some very instructive 

 plates. A mathematical treatment of the problems involved will be found in 

 Mathematical Geography, by Willis G. Johnson (London, 1908).
