New World.

The teaching includes a thorough study of the physical geography necessary 
for an understanding of the various topics, and the opportunity is taken of 
comparing ap area of rapid development in modern times (e.g. Argentina or 
Australia) with an area of long history (e.g. the Mediterranean Region or 
China or India). 
Coursr 3.—In this course geography is a main subject in an advanced 
course. The general lines are those of Course 1, but the work is more detailed, 
and there is more opportunity for individual and practical work. Six hours 
per week are given to the subject.

Examinations Syndicate for the Higher Certificate Examination. The subject 
may be taken either in Group II. (with History) or Group IV. (with a Science). 
This does not differ materially from the regulations of other Examinations Boards 
which make provision for Geography as a principal subject.]
