Three or more pupils can work at amap at one time, and the teacher should allow each member ofa class to do some of the work, especially if one large map ofdouble the dimensions here given is made by the entire class. no Molding North America, The pulp should be spread out in a uniform flat layer, carefullymolded up to the shore-lines of the continent. This may bedone by using a pointed stick to cut and push back the pulp atthe proper points. Thus the indented eastern coast, and even.

The islands, to be sure, maynot be of so great importance as those farther south, but habits Modeling in Paper Pulp, m of slighting the work should not here be formed. The produc-tion of the map of the continent outlined in the flat will be suffi-cient for at least one lesson-period. The children should bequestioned in regard to the form of the continent, its indentedcoasts, and the general relation to other land bodies. The regu-lar matter of the general lesson upon the continent should begiven by some pupils while the others are modeling the map. Next day the pupils can locate the parts of the continentwhere the plateau sections are to be represented by somewhatincreased thickness of pulp. Get a
