Description:Excerpt from Report on Governmental Maps for Use in Schools, 1894 At the conference on geography, held in Chicago, December 28, 29, and 30, 1892 - one of several conferences held at the request of the "Committee of Ten" of the National Educational Association - the undersigned were appointed a committee to prepare a selected list of topographical maps published by our various governmental bureaus, making special mention of such sheets as might best illustrate the physical features of our country. It was the desire of the conference that the list thus prepared should be published and widely distributed among school superintendents and teachers, and that our high schools should then as far as possible secure the specified maps, together with the map of the district in which the school is situated (if such a map is yet published), and introduce them in the teaching of geography. In accordance with these instructions, the committee has examined the maps published by the United States Geological Survey, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the Engineer Corps of the United States Army in the "Lake Survey," the Mississippi River Commission, and the Missouri River Commission. For the sake of completeness, attention was given also to the topographical maps of certain States, to the daily weather maps issued by the United States Weather Bureau, and to the Pilot Charts of the North Atlantic, published by the United States Hydrographic Office. The list of selected maps thus prepared contains the names of over two hundred sheets, arranged under sixty-eight headings. The following abstract will sufficiently indicate its character.
