1945: "Getting geography across"

The 1945 Annual Conference saw a symposium involving James Fairgrieve and Leonard Brooks (both former Presidents) called "Getting Geography Across".
This was aimed at pooling ideas for teaching. Great stress was apparently placed on "bringing reality into teaching". I suppose the current trend for authenticity is part of the ongoing debate we have as geography teachers. Look at point. 4 for example and the current discussions over for how long teachers should talk.



There was some age-old advice from Miss M. D. Hughes.



And more advice from a Miss Bennetton
