<DIV>Turning to my mother’s school geography book – 1903?, but the map of Greece
suggests a 1913? reprint – I see that it’s obvious that geography was a matter
of learning by rote. E.g. “Afghanistan ... is bounded on the North, by
Turkestan; on the West, by Persia; on the South, by Baluchistan; and on the
East, by India.”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thus leading to simple uncontestable questions and answers, such as: Which
of the four principal races of mankind is the most important, the most numerous
and the most civilised?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for the Equator, although the maps and diagrams show it, the explanation
is unclear: “The Equator, and all the lines in this diagram, represent circles
though two of them are drawn quite straight.”</DIV>
