THE COUNTRY ROAD 
of this exercise that the pupil should study a spectacular or especially 
“scenic” road. The present effort is rather to find and to exhibit 
the beauties of the com- 
mon everyday country 
highway. 
Each pupil should now 
give earnest and detailed 
attention to the section 
of road assigned to him. 
He should go over it 
several times, preferably 
in different weathers and 
at different hours of the 
day, not omitting the 
night. He should locate 
and estimate every out- 
look, every tree or group 
of trees, every established 
group of wild flowers or 
shrubbery, every resource 
of beauty within the road- 
way. He should consider 
the interest of every farm 
house along the way and 
the beauty of all bordering farms — for farms are beautiful and 
interesting. Each item in this inventory should be recorded in 
the notebook. 
It should also be located upon a sketch map which the student 
is to make at the same time. The preparation of such a map (as 
shown in Figure 137) is made a part of this exercise. 
If possible these pictures should all be photographed. If the 
pupil has no camera he may borrow one. If he is not a photographer 
he ought to be, and there will never be a better opportunity to learn 
than right here.
