INDISPENSABLE AIDS TO THE SUCCESSFUL TEACHING QF HISTORY

OUTLINE MAPS

The study of Historical Geography by means of the filling in of Outline Maps by the pupil, is now recognized as a necessary part of high school work in History. Many colleges are requiring similar work in their freshman and introductory courses in History, and often it is used with profit in more advanced courses, where maps showing new historical material are to be constructed. Even in the grades it is found that much time can be gained by the use of printed map outlines, in place of the laborious map-drawing by pupils. Many colleges use outline maps in entrance examinations in history; and for ten years the College Entrance Examination Board has included among its questions in history, the placing of historical data upon McKinley Outline Maps.

No series of Outline Maps is so well constructed, so conveniently prepared, so varied in its assortment, or so well adapted to different needs, as the
