CORNISH, B.A., associate professor, college of education, university of toronto THE SCHOOL ATLAS CONTAINING SIXTY-SIX MAPS WITH COMPLETE INDEX Authorised for use in the schools of Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan and "British Columbia I924 TORONTO & LONDON J. M. DENT & SONS LIMITED All rights reserved INTRODUCTION This book is intended to be used as a companion to a text-book of geography. It is strictly a Canadian Atlas, every map having been specially drawn for illustrating or elucidating those geographical facts or ideas which should be assimilated by pupils in Canadian schools. In the maps illustrating the geography of Canada colour is largely used to show differences of altitude, while other geographical features are emphasised which are of scientific or commercial importance, so that the book is not a mere record of topography. The utmost care has been taken to avoid overcrowding of names and so to make each map as clear and readable as possible. This Atlas was prepared to form a working companion to the author's Canadian School Geography. It represents an endeavour to meet the practical need for an atlas quite separate from the geographical text-book and so to render the concurrent study of letterpress and map less irksome and inconvenient.
