36 Visual Education The study of this series of pictures cannot but inspire the educator with the significance of this type of work. There was the training of the imagination, the advantages that came from the mechanical work associated with carrying out the enterprise, the promotion of co-operation in the group of children, the visualization of the study of geography. Furthermore, when the groups were completed they were viewed several times by the other children in the school. They aroused an unusual interest because they were the work of other children. The finished product of an adult would not have served as effectively in promoting a real interest in the homes which are depicted here. The little children overlook many imperfections, such as errors in scale, which we may detect. Their imaginations work in sympathy with the imaginations of those who prepared the habitat groups. They are all children, they are familiar with the ways of children, and they are delighted with the work of their fellow pupils. The habitat groups teach through the eye and through the hand. Wallace W. Atwood. Professor of Geography, Harvard University.
