THE HiYE-ATWOOD GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES 
 
 Here is a course new in treatment, new in content. Human geography 
 is die keynote. 
 
 The Frye-Atwood Geographical Scries provides a wealth of stimulating sug- 
 gestive problem material and the full map equipment essential to the freest 
 fdevdopment of the problem method. 
 
 While the co-authors are joindy responsible for the entire series, each has 
 taken one book for his special care. The result : Book Two is not simply an 
 ; elaboration of Book One but approaches the subject from a new angle. 
 
 NEW GEOGRAPHY, BOOK ONE By Alexis Everett Frye 
 
 A new^ fresh, and original treatment of the minimum essentiab of 
 geography that every child must have as a backgcound for his later study. 
 The work is based on human gecgrajphy with the stoty approach. There 
 
 are six fiill-page illustrations in color and over five hundred and fifty illys- 
 trations in black and white. Anong the latter are the so<ailed " industrial 
 n-otion pictures." 
 
 NEW GEOGRAPHY, BOOK TWO By Wallace W. Atwood 
 
 The first regiohal geography offiEred to American schools. This text- 
 book, which marks a new era in the teaching of geography, is conspicuous 
 for it^ adaption to the problem method. There are sixty cobred maps 
 arratiged in series of five map each to show the natural regions, economic 
 and comjnercial factors, with the political boundaries, rainfall, distribution 
 of population, and vegetation and relief. The value of the six hundred 
 illustrations b greatly enhanced by the foil legends, which include ques- 
 tions designed to stimulate interest and thought on the part of the student. 
 
 ^!',s. Anna ix»ckwood, special teacher of geography, RcKhester, Minnesota, 
 .) "Because of the problem-method ippixjach these books fit better into 
 B' our plan of teaching both world and home geography than any others."

 TO THE TEACHER 
 
 Interest versus Memory Facts. Experience has proved that attempts to make boys and girls remem- 
 ber facts in which they are not interested are failures. Even when reenforced by interest the normal-minded 
 child will not remember any considerable number of the thousands of facts presented in the ordinary textbook 
 study of geography. 
 
 Some few things the pupil must learn and must not forget, but barring these fundamentals, it is more 
 worth while to learn how to get required information than to attempt to overburden the memory with facts. 
 
 Problem Study. The generally accepted modern idea of the correct procedure in the classroom 
 study of geography is to base the study upon some problem which presents an appeal to the interest 
 of the learner. This interest may be aroused through dealing with facts connected with the daily activities 
 of people. The ultimate purpose of a large part of such study is to impress the plastic, unfolding mind of 
 youth with the solidarity and interdependence of the human race. This is " human geography." 
 
 State Geography. It means much for the boys and girls in the schoolrooms of Wisconsin today 
 to become acquainted to a considerable extent with the human geography of their state. Such knowledge 
 is superficial and in the main valueless if it be acquired through the committing to memory of the unrelated 
 facts in the ordinary state geography supplement. That knowledge is most worth while which is gained 
 by the learner's own effort. It is believed that the problem material presented in this book, worked out 
 by the pupils under the inspiration and guidance of the teacher, will go far toward making the boys 
 and girls independent students of geography. 
 
 The Use of this Book. No specific time is set for the completion of any of the problem studies 
 
 offered in this book. Some classes will work more rapidly than others. Teachers need not feel compelled 
 
 to have their classes cover all the problems presented nor to follow the order of their presentation. Those 
 
 studies may be taken up first which seem most interesting, and the work may be continued to conform to 
 
 the time schedule in the local courses of study. The principal thing to bear in mind is that the pupils who 
 
 do the work correctly and with the least assistance are the ones who will benefit most.

 _■ TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF WISCONSIN 
 
 '-^ 
 
 Do you like to go visiting ? Of course home is the best of all places, yet most folks like to make jour- 
 neys — like to go to the homes of other people, to talk with them, to hear what news they have to tell, 
 and to learn whether there are new ideas and better ways of doing things. 
 
 In some ways the study of geography is like visiting. No matter how much you travel you can never 
 go to all the places you would like to know something about. However, if you know how to read and if 
 you understand maps you can learn much about places you have never seen by reading what other people 
 who have been there have written about them. In fact, reading is very much like traveling ; the printed 
 page makes you see pictures of what you would actually find were you to travel. 
 
 For several years you have been studying geography. You have been learning about other people in 
 many different parts of the world — their habits and customs, many of which seem strange to us. You have 
 learned about their homes and the ways in which they make their living. You have studied and learned 
 most about the United States of America, the best of all countries, we think. Now in this book you 
 are going to become better acquainted with the people of our own state, the state of which you and I 
 are so proud. 
 
 There are a number of books in which you may read about Wisconsin. Probably several of them are 
 in your school library. You may be able to get some help from these books in what you are going to do 
 in this book. However, even if your school library does not have books on Wisconsin, you will get along 
 very well if you follow the directions given in this book. 
 
 You are not expected to remember all the facts you discover while you are working out the lessons in 
 this book. You need not even try to do so. That is not the real purpose of the work. If the work were 
 not interesting you would not remember the facts, but if you will follow the lessons as if they were games, 
 just enjoying them from day to day, you will surprise yourself and others by what you will be able to 
 tell anybody who asks you anything about Wisconsin. 
 
 Do not get the idea that there is anything hard in these lessons. If you follow each as it is arranged 
 for you, you will find each new step easy — in fact, easier for you to work out yourself than for you to get 
 somebody else to tell you how to do it. 
 
 This book does not tell you all there is to be known about Wisconsin. As long as you live there will 
 be something new for you to learn. However, when you have finished the lessons offered to you perhaps 
 you will feel that the people of our state are in some ways like a great family. There are thousands and 
 thousands of boys and girls like you going to school regularly and getting ready to take the places of the 
 other thousands of men and women now working and earning a living, and doing their best to make 
 the state better in every way. Each should do his honest share of the work to be done, and do many 
 things for others because others are doing things every day for him. The author hopes that the use of 
 this little book will lead you into a better understanding of this family relation.

 LOCATING WISCONSIN AS TO LATITUDE 
 
 The southern boundary hne of Wisconsin is the parallel of : degrees north latitude. 
 
 The parallel of degrees north latitude passes through the Apostle Islands in Lake 
 
 These islands are a part of County. 
 
 The 45 th parallel of north latitude passes through Wisconsin a little distance north of its central part. 
 
 Therefore we may say that Wisconsin lies about way between the equator and the 
 
 pole. 
 
 It is degrees from the southern boundary of Wisconsin to the 
 
 of Cancer. From the parallel of degrees north latitude, which passes through the 
 
 Apostle Islands, to the arctic circle is degrees. From these facts we learn that 
 
 Wisconsin lies entirely in the zone, about halfway between the 
 
 tropic of and the circle. 
 
 LOCATING WISCONSIN AS TO LONGITUDE 
 
 The 87th meridian west of the prime meridian at passes through 
 
 the County peninsula. The g2d meridian west of 
 
 enters the state on the north through County. The meridian of 90 de- 
 grees west longitude passes through Wisconsin near its center. Therefore we may say that Wisconsin 
 lies about one of the way around the earth west from the prime meridian at

 degrees of longitude. The length of a degree of 
 
 on the 45 th parallel is 
 
 about 49 miles. Therefore this distance is about 
 
 miles. 
 
 The width of Wisconsin along its southern boundary line is about 
 
 miles. Its width 
 
 along the 45th parallel, north 
 
 -, is about 
 
 miles. Its length 
 
 along the 90th meridian, west 
 
 ., is about 
 
 miles. Its actual 
 
 area as a part of the United States is given by our national government as 56,066 square miles. This 
 
 area includes both land and water surface.

THE INDIANS TRAVELED IN CANOES 
 
 Problem Study 
 
 (Refer to the map of Wisconsin in the front of this book) 
 
 Long before the first white man saw our state of Wisconsin the red men roved through its forests in 
 search of game and paddled their canoes up and down its rivers. Of course there were no cities in the 
 state in those days. It was along the waterways that the early explorers established their first trading posts. 
 In getting acquainted with our state let us travel along its water routes, seeing it as it is today. 
 
 As you paddle your canoe, always write on the map on the opposite page the name of the river or 
 lake you are on. Use a blue pencil for this if you wish. Designate important cities that you can see in 
 your journey by a circle (O). Write the name of each city near it ; use a black pencil for this. If you wish 
 you may write in red the names of cities having more than 5000 population. If you care to do so you may 
 designate the county seat of each Wisconsin county you see as you paddle along ; thus, O. You will find 
 all the information you need on pages 60 and 61 of this book. 
 
 LET US TAKE SOME CANOE TRIPS 
 
 Journey I 
 Get into your canoe at Hudson and paddle south. You are on the waters of the 
 
 River. Before you have gone twenty miles you will see a larger river coming from your right. This is the 
 
 River, called the " Waters." From where you 
 
 enter this river it flows south along the boundary of Wisconsin. You may 
 
 paddle south on this river until you see the city of Dubuque on your right hand. Until you see that city 
 every foot of ground on your left is a part of Wisconsin. In keeping with the suggestions in the preceding 
 paragraph, make the map on the opposite page tell the story of your trip. 
 
 Journey II 
 
 Turn your canoe about and paddle back up the Mississippi River until you come to the boundary line 
 between Grant and Crawford counties. Directly north of you, on the right bank of the same river you are 
 
 on, lies the city of The name of this city means "the meadow of the 
 
 dogs." Flowing into the Mississippi River, directly at your right, is the largest river within our state, 
 
 the . — River. Turn your canoe into this river and make the map on 
 
 the opposite page tell the story of your trip on it as far as you wish to travel. Do not fail to take a good 
 look at " the Dells " as you pass. 
 
 Journey III 
 
 The Indian guides showed the early Wisconsin explorers how to travel by water from the Great Lakes 
 to the Mississippi River — having their canoes out of water for only a little over a mile. The city which 
 now stands where this transfer was made is named from what these voyagers did — Portage. Make the map 
 on the opposite page show your canoe trip on the Vox River from near Portage to Green Bay. 
 
 Journey IV 
 
 Did you notice when you were taking your first canoe trip down the Mississippi River that just before 
 you came to the boundary line between Pepin and Buffalo counties a large river poured its waters into 
 the Mississippi River on your left hand .' If you wish you may paddle up that river to Chippewa Falls and 
 beyond. The meaning of the name of the city of Eau Claire is " clear water."

LET'S HITCH UP THE "IRON HORSE" 
 
 Problem Study 
 
 (Consult the State Railroad Map) 
 
 The popular name given to the locomotive by the Indians was " iron horse." Look at the Wisconsin 
 State Railroad Map and see the thousands of miles of steel track that run today from one part of the 
 state to another for the " iron horse." 
 
 1. On the map on the opposite page locate tlie railroad station nearest your home. Select any other 
 station within fifty miles on the same line of railroad. Write the names of these two stations on the 
 map. Connect the two places which you have located by a line following the railroad that you would use 
 in going between them. If you can do so, find out the exact mileage and the exact railroad fare between 
 these places. Put this information and the abbreviation of the name of the railroad on your map. 
 
 2. Write the names of the cities listed below on the map on the opposite page, indicating the location 
 of each city by a square (D). Connect each pair of cities by a line following the most direct railroad route. 
 If you wish, you may show by a circle (O) any other cities that you would pass through in making the trip 
 over that route. Always write on the line of railroad you draw the abbreviation of the name of the railroad. 
 Write the full name of each railroad line and its length in miles in the proper space below. By using the 
 scale of miles on the map, you can estimate pretty closely the railroad distance between these cities.

 Your "family" name is yours by inheritance. Your "given" name is probably in honor of some 
 relative or other person for whom your parents had high regard or special respect. Ask your parents 
 whv they selected your given name. 
 
 r. IRON ORE 
 
 Just as there are reasons for the names of people, so there are reasons for geographical names. The 
 name of Wisconsin means "the Gathering of the Waters." Do you know the reason for the name of 
 your township, village, or city .' Do you know the reason for any other geographical names in Wisconsin ? 
 
 Some places in Wisconsin were named by their settlers from the mineral resources found there. Iron 
 County was so called because of its iron ore. Point out on the wall map of the state the county seat 
 of Iron County. Point to Iron Belt. 
 
 Locate Iron Mountain in Michigan. Look toward the northwest in Wisconsin and find on the map 
 I'lorence and Commonwealth in Florence County. There are iron mines near both of these places. 
 
 What is the color of rusty iron ? W^hat makes iron rust ? Is there an iron fire escape on your build- 
 ing ? Why should it be kept well painted ? All the streams of water in the locality of iron mines are 
 rusty in appearance. Why is this so .' 
 
 Locate Iron Ridge and Iron Mountain in Dodge County. What is a smelter ? There are iron smelters 
 at Milwaukee, Mayville, Superior, and Ashland. What other mineral besides iron is used in an iron 
 smelter ? What is pig iron .' Where in Sauk County is iron found ? 
 
 See if you can find a picture of the great ore docks at Ashland and Superior. Much iron ore is 
 shipped from these ports to Gary, Indiana, and to Cleveland, Ohio. Can you trace the water routes over 
 which these shipments go .■" Why is this ore not smelted in Wisconsin .-' 
 
 What is the difference between cast iron and malleable iron ? Which kind is used in your school 
 desks ? Which kind is used in making tires for wagon wheels .-' What is steel ? A branch of the Illinois 
 Steel Works is located in Milwaukee. 
 
 II. LEAD AND ZINC 
 
 There is a town in Lafayette County called Leadmine. Why do you suppose that the town was given 
 this name .'' Today the chief lead and zinc mines are near Platteville, Cuba, Highland, Hazel Green, Ben- 
 ton, Shullsburg, Livingston, Linden, Mifiiin, and Montfort. Show in what part of Wisconsin these towns 
 are located. What uses are made of lead and zinc ? How do plumbers and gas fitters use lead in their 
 work ? There are thousands of miles of lead pipes under the streets of cities and on the beds of oceans. 
 What is inclosed in these pipes .-' Explain how cities which are separated by oceans can be connected 
 with one another. Give some examples of such cities. Zinc is used in the manufacture of electric batteries. 
 Sulphuric acid is made in the zinc smelter at Mineral Point. Locate this city on the map. 
 
 III. CLAY PRODUCTS 
 
 Milwaukee is called the " Cream City " because of the color of the brick made from deposits of clay in 
 and near it. The bricks made from the clay deposits near Menomonie are of a red color. Half of the 
 brick made in Wisconsin comes from these two localities. Most of the clay from which bricks are made 
 was formed as fine sediment laid down in the bottoms of lakes which have since disappeared. 
 
 Bricks are also manufactured at Green Bay, De Pere, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, Port 
 Washington, Burlington, Watertown, Madison, and New London. Point to these places on the map.

 What is a brick kiln ? Can you describe the process of manufacturing brick ? Do you know of any 
 building constructed of brick? Can you find out where the bricks came from and their cost per looo? 
 How many bricks can a bricklayer '" lay " in a day ? What is a brick-veneer house ? What are the dimen- 
 sions of a common brick ? How much does one weigh ? 
 
 IV. LIMESTONE AND SANDSTONE 
 
 One third of the rock beneath the soil of Wisconsin is limestone. Years ago much limestone was 
 used as building material. Do you know of any building in your locality made of limestone ? If so, can 
 you find out the date of its construction ? 
 
 At the present time limestone is used for road-building, for making concrete, and for lime. Lime- 
 stone for road-building and for concrete is quarried at Waukesha, Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, and 
 Fond du Lac. Point to these places on the map. Do you know of any highway in your locality in the 
 construction of which limestone was used ? What is the difference between a macadam road and a con- 
 crete road .' Do you know of any building made of concrete ? Did you ever see a concrete-mixer in use .' 
 Can you describe how concrete is made ? If you have ever seen a building being erected of concrete, tell 
 what you can about the way it was constructed. Did you ever see a bridge, a viaduct, or a culvert made 
 of concrete .' Is concrete used in any way on any farm that you know about .' 
 
 There are lime kilns at Waukesha, Racine, Milwaukee, Brillion, Peebles, Lannon, Eden, Hayton, 
 Richfield, Oshkosh, Valders, Grimms, Mayville, and Sturgeon Bay. Can you show the location of these 
 places on the map .'' How is lime made at a lime kiln .■' What is mortar ? Look at a brick building 
 and see whether you can find any mortar. What is it used for .■' Is there any lime in the plaster on the 
 walls and ceiling of your schoolroom ? What is beneath this plaster .■' What is mixed with the sand or 
 gravel and limestone in making concrete that is not mixed with the lime and sand in making mortar ? 
 
 Sandstone is used to some extent as building material. Lake Superior sandstone quarried near Bay- 
 field has been used in a number of places in Wisconsin and in other states. There is a quarry near 
 Madison and one at Colfax. The law-school building of the University of Wisconsin is built of Lake 
 Superior sandstone. 
 
 V. GRANITE 
 
 One of the points of interest visited by tourists in the city of New York is the tomb of a president of 
 the United States. This mausoleum is on Riverside Drive. Inclosed in a magnificent sarcophagus hewTi 
 from a solid block of Wisconsin granite lo ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 6 in. by 4 ft. 10 in. lies the body of Presi- 
 dent Ul)'sses S. Grant. What else can you tell about this great American .'' 
 
 The block of granite mentioned in the preceding paragraph was quarried at Montello. Show on the 
 map the location of Montello. 
 
 Brigadier General Edward S. Bragg of Fond du Lac was commander of the Iron Brigade in the Civil 
 War. Many of the regiments of this famous brigade were composed of Wisconsin soldiers. Today in the 
 National Cemetery at Gettysburg, commemorating the heroism of the Iron Brigade, stand two monuments. 
 One is hewn from Montello granite and the other from beautiful Berlin rhyolite. Locate Berlin on the 
 map. What can you tell about the battle of Gettysburg .' 
 
 Monuments of Montello and Waupaca granite have been erected on the Chickamauga battlefield to 
 the memory of Wisconsin soldiers. Locate Waupaca. Can you tell something of interest about the 
 battle of Chickamauga .'

 Montello granite was used for monuments erected at Vicksburg to show the locations of Wisconsin 
 regiments and batteries. Can you tell something about the battles around Vicksburg ? 
 
 Wisconsin's beautiful capitol is built of white Vermont granite, but its interior finish is in highly 
 polished limestone, marble, and granite. All this granite, with the exception of sixteen piers supporting 
 the circular gallery in the rotunda, comes from Wisconsin quarries in Marquette, Marathon, Waupaca, and 
 Marinette counties. Locate Amberg and Athelstane in Marinette County ; Wausau and Granite Heights 
 in Marathon County. 
 
 Redgranite in Waushara County is the center of the granite paving-block industry of the United 
 States. Why is granite well suited for this purpose ? Do you know of uses of granite for monumental, 
 paving, or building purposes in your locality ? 
 
 VI. MINERAL WATER 
 
 Where does your drinking water come from ? Do you have to pay for it ? What is the difference 
 between hard water and soft water ? Have you ever seen drinking water for sale in bottles or jugs ? 
 Six million, two hundred and ninety-six thousand, six, hundred and thirty-four gallons of Wisconsin 
 mineral water were sold in a single year for ^1,362,498. 
 
 There are over forty mineral-water springs in Wisconsin from which water is sold. One third of them 
 are located in Waukesha. Do you know the names of any of these mineral waters .' If not, ask your 
 druggist or grocer or whoever has mineral water for sale in your locality. At the same time find out what 
 distilled water is and for what it is used. Do you know what carbonated water is ? 
 
 Mineral-spring water is sold at Sheboygan, Prairie du Chien, Green Bay, Oconto, Ashland, Osceola, 
 Madison, Chippewa Falls, Waupaca, Darlington, Oshkosh, Palmyra, Wauwatosa, Lake Geneva, Solon 
 Springs, Menomonee Falls, and Wausau. See how many of these places you can find on the map. 
 
 What is an artesian well .'' Why do health authorities advise people whose water supply is from shallow 
 wells, lakes, or rivers to boil the water before using it for drinking .?

WISCONSIN'S MANUFACTURED ARTICLES ARE SENT TO MANY 
 
 PARTS OF THE WORLD 
 
 Problem Study 
 
 Many magazines and other periodicals circulate through all parts of the United States. The selling 
 price of these publications is often less than it costs to produce them. The publishers make up for 
 their publication losses by selling advertising space in their magazines or periodicals. 
 
 Manufacturers pay the publishers for these advertisements. This is one way they have of letting 
 people know what they are making. Manufacturers believe that people will buy their goods if they know 
 about them, and so they advertise their goods in periodicals read by thousands of people. 
 
 In a recent issue of a periodical of national circulation, there were more advertisements of Wisconsin- 
 made goods than of goods made in any other state. 
 
 IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE 
 
 A manufacturer who is selling one hundred articles in a day finds that in order to make a profit of $ i 
 on each article its selling price must be $$. If he could sell two hundred of this article at the same 
 price, what would his daily profit be.' Would it pay him to spend ;^io per day for advertising if by 
 so doing he could double his sales ? How much would the advertising add to the cost of each article ? 
 
 This manufacturer is satisfied, however, with an increased net profit of $40 a day due to the doubling 
 of his sales. What may he fix, therefore, as the selling price of each article .' How does the selling price 
 of the advertised article compare with the selling price of the unadvertised article .' 
 
 Project. Look at the advertisements of Wisconsin manufactures in magazines and journals that 
 you have at home or at school and summarise belozv what you discover.

POTATO PROBLEMS 
 
 1. The average price of Wisconsin potatoes at the farm during this five-year period was $1.02 per 
 
 bushel. At this price Wisconsin's annual potato crop is worth on an average $ to 
 
 the potato growers. 
 
 2. During the same period farmers in the other states received average prices per bushel as follows : 
 
 New York, $1.27; Minnesota, ;^i.oo; Michigan, ^1.09; Pennsylvania, $1.33. 
 
 At these prices the average annual value of an acre of potatoes to the potato growers in these five 
 states is as follows : 
 
 New York, $ ; Minnesota, $ ; Wisconsin, $ .; 
 
 Michigan, $ ; Pennsylvania, $ . 
 
 3. Wisconsin raises an average of bushels of potatoes for each inhabitant (see 1920 
 
 population of Wisconsin on page 61). This number of bushels weighs lb. 
 
 4. My county raises an average of bushels of potatoes for each inhabitant. This is 
 
 bushels -j f^than the average for the state as a whole. (For population of counties 
 
 see pages 60 and 61.) 
 
 5. If 42,000 pounds of potatoes are shipped in one freight car, it would require 
 
 freight cars to carry the average Wisconsin potato crop. 
 
 6. A freight charge of $63 for a carload of potatoes adds cents to the cost of 
 
 a bushel. 
 
 7. When potatoes are shipped in winter the temperature in the freight car must never be allowed to 
 go lower than degrees Fahrenheit. 
 
 8. How many bushels of seed potatoes are required to plant one acre .' 
 
 9. What are potato " eyes " } 
 
 10. With what solution should seed potatoes be treated ? What does this prevent ? 
 
 11. What are potato beetles.? What methods are used by potato growers to destroy them } 
 
 12. What is potato blight .' What precautions may be taken to guard against it .'

WHERE UNDER THE SUN IS WISCONSIN 
 
 Problem Study 
 
 THE FOUR SEASONS OF THE YEAR IN WISCONSIN 
 (Refer to an almanac) 
 
 What is the difference between a calendar and an almanac ? Benjamin Franklin made and sold " Poor 
 Richard's Almanac" for many years; today you can get both calendars and almanacs free. Why is this so? 
 
 As you know from observation, the sun rises earlier and sets later in summer than it does in winter. 
 In fact, during the longest days of our summer there are almost six more hours of sunlight than there 
 are during our shortest days in winter. How does setting the clock ahead in the summer "save daylight".? 
 
 Winter 
 
 Winter begins on the day of December. On that day the sun rises at 
 
 o'clock A.M. and sets at o'clock p.m. That date is called the winter solstice. During that 
 
 day we have hours and minutes of sunlight. (Look up in the dictionary the meaning 
 
 of the word "zenith.") The sun at noon on this date is as far south of the zenith as it ever is. 
 
 Spring 
 
 Spring begins on the day of March. On that day the sun rises at o'clock 
 
 A.M. and sets at o'clock p.m. There are hours and minutes of sunlight during 
 
 that day. This date is called the vernal equinox. 
 
 Summer 
 
 The date of the summer solstice is the day of In what direction from 
 
 yourself will you see your shadow at noon on that day } If you stood on the tropic of 
 
 on that date the sun would be directly in the zenith at noon. 
 
 Autumn 
 
 The autumnal equinox falls on the day of There are 
 
 hours and minutes less of sunlight on this day than on the date of the summer sol- 
 
 stice. From the date of the summer solstice until the date of the winter solstice the will 
 
 get shorter and shorter and the will get longer and longer ; they will be of about equal length 
 
 on the date of the autumnal equinox.

 cow of each of these breeds so that your classmates will know to which breed she belongs .•' Account for 
 the names of these breeds. 
 
 2. What does the name of Dr. Stephen M. Babcock mean in the dairy business .' 
 
 3. Look at the market reports in the newspaper. What is the price quoted for butter } for cheese .' 
 
 4. How much milk is required to make a pound of cheese .-' to make a pound of butter ? What is 
 whey ">. What is buttermilk } 
 
 5. At what time of the year are butter and cheese prices lowest "i At what time are they the highest .' 
 How do you account for this .' 
 
 6. How many cubic feet of space are there in your schoolroom t Can you express this number of 
 cubic feet in cubic inches .? How many cubic inches are there in a gallon 1 How many pints are there 
 in a gallon .-' If you consider that a pint of milk weighs about one pound, how many pounds of milk 
 would there be in a vat the size of your schoolroom.' How many vats of this size would it take to 
 contain the milk produced in one year by the cows of your county .' (See page 20.) 
 
 7. Thirteen pounds of ice cream are manufactured every sixty seconds in Wisconsin. The total weight 
 
 of ice cream manufactured in Wisconsin in one day is times my own weight. The total weight 
 
 manufactured in a week would make about pints of brick ice cream. The total weight of a year's 
 
 production of Wisconsin ice cream weighs tons.

THE " WHITE COAL " OF WISCONSIN 
 
 Problem Study- 
 Whenever you " push the button " or " turn the switch," and the room is filled with the brilliancy of 
 electric light, you have connected the electric lamp with a whirling dynamo which is being turned by 
 either steam power or water power. Steam power is produced by burning black coal under a boiler con- 
 taining water held under pressure ; you have all seen an illustration of this in a steam engine. Another 
 way of getting power is to use falling water to turn a water wheel. Someone has called this falling water 
 " white coal." (Look in a dictionary to find pictures of the following kinds of water wheels : undershot 
 wheel, overshot wheel, turbine wheel. Is there a water wheel of any kind in your locality .') 
 
 Not a single pound of black coal is mined in Wisconsin — every lump we burn must be brought 
 to us from long distances by trains or boats. (F'ind out the present price of bituminous (soft) coal at your 
 nearest dealer's.) At the present time the waters of Wisconsin's rivers, — our own "white coal," — held 
 back by dams and forced to turn water wheels before they are allowed to flow on toward the sea, are pro- 
 ducing as much power each year as could be made by burning 3,000,000 tons of black coal. At the 
 present price of soft coal this amount of coal would cost $ 
 
 In speaking of working power we measure in " horse power" ; that is, we call the force necessary to 
 lift 33,000 pounds through a distance of i foot in i minute "one horse power." Wisconsin's "white 
 coal" is now producing power equal to 275,000 horse power. The United States Geological Survey 
 estimates that when all Wisconsin's water powers have been harnessed and set to work, the power 
 produced will equal 1 1 . i horse power per square mile. This will give to the people of our state water 
 power equal to horse power. 
 
 The greater part of the water power produced in Wisconsin is now used at the places where the dams 
 have been built. The water wheels are connected directly with machinery used in manufacturing or for 
 the making of electricity which is used locally. Some important places where water power is used for 
 manufacturing purposes are Rhinelander, Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids, Neenah, Menasha, Appleton, 
 Kimberly, Kaukauna, De Pere, Chippewa Falls, and Eau Claire. 
 
 Put a square (D) at the source, and a circle (O) at the mouth, of each of the following rivers : Wis- 
 consin, Fox, Chippewa. Locate each of the following places, noting on which of these rivers it is situated, 
 and write its elevation above sea level as follows: Tomahawk, 143 1 feet; Portage, 784 feet; Neenah, 747 
 feet; Kaukauna, 594 feet; Bruce (Rusk County), 1064 feet; Chippewa Falls, 839 feet; Eau Claire, 770 
 feet. If there is a dam in or near your home or village find out what use is made of its " white coal." 
 
 In a number of places in Wisconsin electricity is produced by water power and carried on wires hun- 
 dreds of miles to be used in lighting cities, villages, and homes, or in running machinery for manu- 
 facturing. In some cities the street cars are propelled by electricity developed in this way. 
 
 Locate Kilbourn on the map on the opposite page. Show by lines how the following places are con- 
 nected with Kilbourn by electricity : Portage, Watertown, Oconomowoc, and Milwaukee. Send lines from 
 Watertown to Jefferson and Fort Atkinson, and from Kilbourn to Beaver Dam by way of Fox Lake. 
 
 Locate St. Croix Falls and Chippewa Falls on the map on the opposite page. Send lines from them 
 to St. Paul and Minneapolis in the state of Minnesota. 
 
 Locate Hatfield in Jackson County, Mellen in Ashland County, Prairie du Sac in Sauk County, High 
 Falls in Marinette County. If your home city or village or any city or village near your home receives 
 electricity from any of these water-power plants, show by a line on the map on the opposite page the 
 lines of wires making the connection. If the electricity used in your home city or village comes from 
 any other place than from one of these, show on the map the lines of wires connecting your home and 
 the site of the power plant from which it receives its electricity.

STUDYING MY OWN COUNTY 
 
 (Pupil talking) 
 
 Project. On the opposite page I have drawn a map of my own county. On this map I have shoivn 
 %vhat areas of land or ivater surround my county. I have divided the county into townships and have 
 written in the name of each toivnship. I have shown the lakes, rivers, railroad lines, state and county 
 roads, and other important highivays of my county. I have located the iviportant cities and villages and 
 have designated the county seat as follozvs : (O). Below the map I have drawn the scale of miles zvhich 
 I used in drawing the map. 
 
 FACTS REGARDING MY COUNTY 
 
 1. My county contains square miles (see page 50). Its exact land area in acres 
 
 is . (see page 44). 
 
 2. The total population of my county, according to the 1920 United States Census, is 
 (see pages 60 and 61). 
 
 3. From my own observation the following important agricultural crops are raised in my county : 
 
 4. From my own observation people in my county are engaged in the following occupations :

 Project. On the opposite page I have drawn a map of my 
 
 Its name is The scale I used in drawing is shown in 
 
 the lower left-hand corner of the page. 
 
 Note. If the map is of a township it should show the section lines. Its boundary lines should be properly designated in 
 their relation to base lines and correction lines. The Wisconsin State Railroad Map will supply this information. If the map is 
 of a village or city it should show the principal streets and the location of schoolhouses and such other buildings and detail 
 as may be shown clearly. If the map is of the school district it should show the location of the schoolhouse, the roads, and 
 of as many farms and homes as seems best to the teacher.
