eastern, southern, and western points of this continent. Trace, name, and locate three indentations in the coast of North America; one in South America; one between North America and Asia. Compare the two grand divisions of this continent by telling how they are alike; how unlike in shape and coast-line.

What island group southeast of North America? What one incloses Bering Sea? What island is northeast of North America? What one at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River? In what direction are the Hawaiian Islands from North America?

Trace the coast-line of the Eastern Continent. Tell what oceans bound it. Tell the most northern,

eastern, southern, and western capes. By what seas is Africa separated from Asia? By what sea and strait from Europe? How is Africa connected with Asia?

Which of the two continents has the greater number of indentations? Which has the greater number of islands near its coast? Which division of the Eastern Continent has the most regular coast-line? Name and locate four indentations on the coast of Asia; one on the coast of Europe. Name an island group east of Eurasia; southeast of Eurasia.

Trace around the Australian Continent. Describe its coast.

Trace the highlands of the Western Continent. Tell what mountain system of North America and what one of South America comprise these highlands. From the direction of the rivers tell in what two general directions the land slopes in North America. Which slope contains the large rivers? Trace the Mississippi, the Mackenzie, the St. Lawrence. Tell in what direction and into what body of water each flows. Trace around a group of lakes in North America, and tell to what river system they belong. Trace three rivers which find their way to the Pacific. Compare their length with the length of the other rivers on the slope. Trace the Amazon, the Parana, and the Orinoco Rivers. Tell which is largest; in which direction and into what each flows. What ocean receives them all? In what gen

ferent parts of this continent? Compare the northern and the southern parts of North America with the same parts of South America as to seasons. (Page 22.) In what belts does the Eastern Continent lie? Which belt contains the most land? The greater part of Eurasia lies in which belt? The greater part of Africa? In which belt is the northern part of Eurasia? The southern part? In which belt is the northern part of Africa? The southern part? How is the Australian Continent divided in regard to belts of climate?

Draw two circles; divide them into belts of climate according to illustration, page 20. Name one circle the Western and the other the Eastern Continent. Beginning with your home dis

tion does the greater part of the land surface

of South America slope? What name is given the Parana at its mouth? Trace the Primary High lands of Eurasia and of Africa. From the courses of the rivers tell the direction of the long slope and of the short slope in these divisions.

Trace the Yenisei, the Hoang, and the Ganges Rivers of Asia; tell the general direction of each and into what body of water each flows. What oceanic basins receive most of the rivers of Asia?

Trace the Volga and Danube Rivers of Europe; tell into what each flows. Trace the Nile and Kongo Rivers of Africa; tell into what each flows. What great oceanic basin finally receives most of the rivers of Europe and Africa? Which continent has no rivers of importance?

In what belts does the Western Continent lie? What is the prevailing weather or climate of dif

pal ones of the Eastern Continent in the North Temperate belt as you learned them in the study of Part I. Name, locate, and print those of the South Temperate belt in each continent. Name, locate, and print those of the cold belts. and then those of the hot belt, first those in the Western and then those in the Eastern Continent. Name as many plant products as you can. (See "Plants," Part I.)

Draw two more circles and print the names of the animals in the belts to which they belong, beginning with the North Temperate belt of the Western Hemisphere. (See "Animals," Part I.) Name as many animal products as you can.

Draw two circles and print the names of races and nations, industries and religions, where they belong. belong. (See "People," "Occupations," Part I.)

Make a list of the cities you find on the maps of the hemispheres. Locate five in North America, three in South America, four in Europe, four in Asia, and two in Australia.

NOTE. In the study of North America from the map, you should trace with a pencil or small pointer all coast-lines, land-forms, water-routes, mountain ranges and systems, rivers, and lakes.

In connection with this study you should read of the discoveries and explorations of North America by different Europeans. You should also locate the first settlements as far as possible.

You should either sketch maps, or have outline maps to fill in as you study them. You should mold North America in sand, either on the sand-board or table, or in the schoolyard.

Collect pictures of as many subjects as possible in connection with the study of North America. Arrange them neatly on cardboard for schoolroom, or on manilla paper for your own collection.

During the long winter this sea and strait are frozen over, and no vessels can pass through. Take an imaginary cruise around North America, and tell what bodies of

what bay and strait would a vessel sail from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean? Trace the eastern coast. What three arms of the Atlantic indent this coast? What island nearly incloses

water you would visit. What projections of landpeninsulas or capes-would you have to avoid? What are some of the different ways by which you would be warned of these points? (Page 97.)

Describe each of the following peninsulas by telling from what part of North America it projects and what

waters nearly surround it: Labrador, Nova Scotia, Florida, Yucatan, California, Alaska. Which of these peninsulas do you think the most important to mankind? Why?
