In preparing the following lessons, in answer to the demand of the public school teacher for such assistance, the aim has been to present them in such a manner that both teacher and pupil may, through the understanding and acceptance of the steps involved, become expert in the development and delineation of original maps showing surface structure in relief.
To this end, suggestions vital to the success of the would-be mapmaker will be found in the Introduction.
