Excerpt from Source Book for the Economic Geography of North America There has been a notable increase in recent years in the number of universities and colleges which offer instruction in geography, and especially in the numbers of students who elect courses in the subject. As a result, instructor have been confronted by the difficult problem of providing source materials for the use of their students. At the University of Chicago this problem has been especially critical in the course on the "Economic Geography of North America." Source materials in this field are scattered widely through government reports, magazines, and other publications, of which it has been impossible to provide a sufficient number of copies to meet the needs of large groups of students. Furthermore, much of the original literature is unrelated to a geographic discussion, so that it is impracticable to refer beginning students to it. It is hoped that this book will furnish material for an introductory study of the geography of North America and that it will effectively introduce students to the literature of the subject. At the University of Chicago the course on the "Economic Geography of North America" is the third of three units which comprise the first year's work in geography. The preceding units are "Elements of Geography," which is an analysis of the elements of the physical environment in their relation to life, and "Economic and Commercial Geography," which is organized on a commodity basis. As given here, the course on North America is organized on a regional basis and serves as an introduction to regional geography. It is followed by courses on the other major regions of the world. Pedagogically, it is intended that this course constitute a transition from the earlier courses in which much use is made of a text to later courses without texts, in which the lecture method is employed more or less extensively. As the limitations imposed by a small volume made it impossible to reproduce most of the articles in full, it is hoped that instructors using the book will consult the original sources and, when practicable, refer their students to them.

Excerpt from The Principles of Economic Geography This volume attempts to give little more than an outline of the principles of economic geography in a readable form. The scope of the subject is liberally interpreted in the belief that the deeper and wider the foundations the surer the edifice that can be built. For this reason several matters are touched on which are not often dealt with in works on economic geography. Statistical matter, as far as possible, has been avoided as out of keeping with the aim of the book. Moreover, statistics for recent years, even when available, do not illustrate the normal features of production and trade, owing to the dislocation caused by the war.

Excerpt from The Story of Our Continent: A Reader in the Geography and Geology of North America, for the Use of Schools Those who read this book will at once perceive that both in the subject-matter and arrangement it departs widely from the ordinary text-books which give an 'account of North America. It should be understood that the end which the writer sought to attain is not that which may be secured by the ordinary school geographies. Such works uhdertake to afford the student a large body of detailed information concerning the existing state of the country, and with little or no reference to the steps by which the land came to its present estate. The aim of this work has been to pre sent only those features which can be shown in their relation to the geological development of the continent. The expectation of the author has been that this work will be used as a reader along with some geography which treats in a thorough way the facts of a political and economic nature, such as these text-books ordi narily present. Used in this manner, it will naturally lead the student to perceive how the present state of the country is due to the processes which have gone on in the remote past, and in this way to attain to some of the most enlarging conceptions which the geological history of the earth unfolds.

Excerpt from The Economic Development of Canada Much of the early enterprise towards America may be attributed to the search for a North-west Passage to the East, as an alternative route to that by way of the Cape from which Portugal and Spain jealously excluded all other nations. If you look at the map you will observe that the orientation of the continent of North America is most pronounced towards Europe. The two greatest breaks in the Atlantic coast-line north of Florida, are the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Hudson's Strait and Bay. They lie right in the course of vessels sailing to the west from the United Kingdom and from France. The early English and French navi gators were not slow to explore these openings, and, following them for days, fondly believed that they had come upon the great object of their search - the short route to the East by the West. They were doomed to disappointment; but they had unwittingly discovered Canada's domain, vaster and more valuable than any they dreamed of. They did not dis cover the North-west Passage; and yet, in one sense they did. But it was left to the genius of the British and French races, whom these navi gators represented, to convert, three centuries later, their discovery, with the assistance of a great trans-continental line of railway, into the true north-west passage of the present day. I suppose it is impossible to over-estimate the influence which the fur trade has exercised on the destiny of Canada. At the outset, the exploita tion of the fur trade was the sole raison d'e'tre of the early occupation of the country on behalf of France by the chartered company of the Hundred Associates. It was the cause also of the occupation of the northern and western interior by the Hudson Bay Company. Colonisa tion had no place at first in the French scheme, and was only encouraged, within limits, later on, after the assumption of the affairs of New France by the Crown. Even then, the prosecution of the fur trade was found to constitute a real impediment to settlement; the life of excite ment and adventure it offered demoralised the younger men in the colony, leading them to abandon the work of clearing and to neglect agriculture. But throughout the French regime furs were the most im portant source of revenue upon which the economic existence of the colony rested. The St. Lawrence, with its wonderful series of lakes, and subsidiary rivers and streams, afforded admirable opportunities for pro secuting that trade over an immense extent of country. By its means also exploration was facilitated, and the French obtained at a very early date a much more accurate knowledge of the geography and resources of the interior than would otherwise have been possible, in view of the vast and impenetrable forest that covered the Atlantic division of Canada, and which barred the approach to the fertile prairie regions of the west. The fur trade was also instrumental in opening the eyes of the French to the advantages to be derived from their strategic position in America for securing control of the whole continent. It trained, moreover, large numbers of men in the qualities of courage, endurance, and resource, a circumstance which proved of the greatest value to France in her sabse quent struggles with England for the mastery of the continent.
