2. Let the teacher draw upon the blackboard the SEAS of the map, in presence of the class, describing each as it is drawn. If drawn in advance with an ordinary slate pencil, the mark cannot be seen by the class, but can be traced by the teacher with white chalk. Do not try to make the lines exact. A general sketch will answer far better than finished work. Write upon each its initial letter, but let the class give its full name; and at the same time follow the teacher by drawing the map on slates or in note-books. Review the names of the seas: _Caspian_, _Persian Gulf_, _Red Sea_, _Mediterranean_ or _Great Sea_, _Dead Sea_, _Lake Arsissa_ or _Van_, _Lake Urumiyeh_. 3. Draw next the most important of the MOUNTAIN RANGES, showing their general lines, in blue or green color, naming each as drawn, requiring the class to repeat its name, and to review at the close all the names: _Ararat_ (including _Masius_, _Niphates_, _Abus_), _Caspian_, _Zagros_, _Lebanon_, _Taurus_. 4. Draw the RIVERS in white chalk, and drill the class upon their names as the course of each is shown: _Araxes_, _Tigris_, _Euphrates_, _Orontes_, _Jordan_, _Nile_. Review the names of seas, mountains, and rivers, before beginning the next subject. 5. Show the LANDS in their three classes, and drill the class upon their names. (1.) MOUNTAIN LANDS: _Armenia_, _Media_, _Persia_. (2.) LANDS OF THE PLAIN: _Assyria_, _Elam_, _Mesopotamia_, _Chaldea_, _Arabia_. (3.) LANDS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: _Asia Minor_, _Syria_, _Phoenicia_, _Palestine_, _Wilderness_, _Egypt_. Review the entire map, from the beginning; then erase it, and call for the class to give the names as they are indicated by the pointer without marking. ANCIENT WORLD, AND DESCENDANTS OF NOAH. ONE of the most ancient and valuable accounts of the races of mankind is found in the tenth chapter of Genesis. It states the location and, in large degree, the relationship of the various families upon the earth, as they were known to the descendants of Abraham.
