The production of the map of the conti-nent outlined in the flat will furnish enough work for one lesson-period, but the children should be questioned in regard to thetriangular form of South America, and the coast-line unbroken bygreat gulfs or large enclosed seas. Then the pupils may locate the parts of the continent wherethe plateau sections are to be represented by somewhat increasedthickness of the paper pulp. These sections are : i. The Plateauof the Andes; 2. The Plateau of Brazil; 3. The Plateau ofGuiana. Of these plateaus, that of the Andes is by far the most promi- Modeling in Paper Pulp, tiS nent. It should be represented on the map by an irregular bandof increased elevation, varying from one-half inch to two inchesin width (scale 200), and stretching along the entire western. Fig. This should blend into the flat portion which representsthe Great Central Plain, extending along the whole eastern baseof the Andes, and interrupted only by the low plateaus of Brazil ii6 Molding South America, and Guiana. The great plain is usually considered under threedivisions: i. The Llanos of the Orinoco; 2. The Selvas of theAmazon ; 3. The Pampas of La Plata. The water-sheds divid-ing these sections are insignificant in elevation. The pupils may now proceed to mold the mountains of thecontinent. Place quantities of the pulp in parallel ridges or linesalong the western coast upon the Andean plateau. These willform the border wall of the plateau, and should be molded intopeaks and elevations by means of a spatula or a common steelbutton-hook. The elevations should not exceed one-q
