...contribute to the class from his own personal observations. The use of technical terms should be avoided. The idea should come first and be understood then the term applied afterwards, otherwise the term is memorized without any definite knowledge of its meaning. Avoid authoritative terms and generalizations. There is often too much stress laid on trifling subjects. Statistics are tiring and of no great benefit to the student. Many errors occur in text books, such as misleading statements in regard to the tides, the air about the equator, rain and volcanoes. In the whole course of geographical study, whether...

Virtue with crosses and misfortunes is not rare while vice is often prosperous and comfortable. Here a poor seamstress earns enough to sustain life only by constant and painful labor and there a careless cumberer of the ground is quite content in everything; here a charlatan thrives and there a well-equipped practitioner has scarcely a patient; here a demagogue makes a fortune out of the people's fears and hopes and there a patriot is unheeded...
