FEBRUARY STUDY OF THE FIELD: PART I.
“The Geography of China.”
(Text-book, February Magazine.) The first two studies for February are based upon the article entitled, “The Geography of China.” This has been divided for the benefit of those whose time to devote to the Reading Circle work is limited. We would urge the use of the map in these studies, as it will aid much in locating the different places mentioned. 1. What proportion of the territory of Asia does the Chinese Empire cover? Of the inhabitable globe? 2. Give its area and extent. How is it divided? 3. How is China Proper divided? What can you say of the population and civilization? 4. How does the area of this division compare with that of Great Britain? of the United States? 5. Mention some of the names by which China has been, and is, known. What does Isaiah call it? Give reference. Why has it been called the Celestial Empire? 6. Describe the great wall and the rivers of China. 7. Upon what does China depend almost entirely for transportation? 8. What can you say of the forests? of the wild animals? of the flowers? 9. Tell what you can of the grand canal. 10. Mention some of the products and foods.
