The dissimilitude of Sumatra and Java, separated by only a narrow channel, occurs to us, as well as that of Madagascar, but narrowly divided from the neighboring continent. So able a writer on physical geography as Sir J. E. Tennent believes that Ceylon is not a dismembered portion of India, but a distinct formation, perhaps part of a continent which has long since disappeared.
Why is it wrong to extend a lesson beyond the period during which children are able to concentrate their attention upon the work in hand, or beyond the period during which they do concentrate their attention? How is it possible to extend the period devoted to a lesson in reading, or in geography, or in Latin, beyond the time required to read a story or draw a map, or translate a paragraph?
The delight I experienced in making this new acquisition to my geography was of itself sufficient to atone for any aches or weariness I may have felt. The mere fact that one may walk from Washington to Pumpkintown was a discovery I had been all these years in making. The day was cold but the sun was bright, and the foot took hold of those hard, dry, gritty Maryland roads with the keenest relish.
In America everything is possible. But you have to work hard, Goldie, like Mary Antin study hard, put your mind on it." "Oh, I know it, pa!"

I believe you know this piece of geography, that it is one of the provinces of the kingdom of Bengal. Croftes two lac of rupees; and then remains one lac, which was taken from a sum of three lac six thousand nine hundred and seventy-three rupees. After we had waited for Mr.
"I say, Miss Kennedy bother take it though, I can't always be saying Miss Kennedy it's too long. I shall call you Eva may I?" said Cyril. "By all means, if you like." "Well, then, Eva, the guide is such a rum fellow; he looks like a revived mummy out of out of Palmyra," said he, blundering a little in his geography.
This town Marius captured after a laborious march of nine or ten days, and, though the inhabitants surrendered, he ruthlessly massacred every adult Numidian in it, and sold the rest as slaves. One other exploit of his is told by Sallust, but with such blunders of geography as render identification of the place impossible.
