Abstract	This book compares the teaching methods of Europe with the United States as related to the development of geography education and the problems of geography education in U.S. schools. The book comprehensively discusses and evaluates the history of geography instruction, tracing that history from the time of the Greeks and examining influences up to the beginning of the 19th century. Featuring the innovative and influential methods of Pestalozzi, a review of how geography was taught in Great Britain and Ireland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is outlined. Teaching by the inductive method and discovery by personal observation as advocated by Pestalozzi are strongly recommended. The time is ripe for American classrooms to adopt the idea that learning geography first hand by actual experience of the environment and by active teaching methods produces positive results. (NL)
