Of THE UNIVERSITY Of PREFACE Can geography be taught so as to make students thinkfoweU, THIS question, propounded by the translator of Plato sworks suggests the doubt felt by all who hold the disciplinary or culture theory of education, in regard to the so-called practical subjects in the curriculum. The question is one which must be fairly met and answered if these subjects are to be accepted as truly educational in character. In the case of physical geography, much progress has been made toward a truly scientific, and therefore disciplinary, method of treatment. But in the case of conmiercial geography, less progress has been made because the nature and scope of the subject have been frequently misapprehended, especially in English-speaking lands .C ommercial geography seems first to have appeared during the 18th century in schools patronized by the trading classes, under the name ofT rader sG eography (K aufmannsgeographie, Handelsgeographie). The subject matter comprised unrelated scraps of information concerning anything and everything useful for a merchant to know, with special teference, however, to transportation and trade. It was from this class of works that the name commercial geography was borrowed; and by reason of this origin, commercial geography has tended to deal with accomplished facts rather than causes, and with the movement or circulation of goods rather than the fundamental matter of production. Books of this type, lacking a causal or other rational interpretation for their masses of empirical facts, are filled with dollars and bushels and tons in lieu of principles. Clearly, the memorizing of isolated facts and unrelated statistics cannot make students think, noris it, in any proper sense of the word, educational.

Edward Van Dyke Robinson
Edit Profiledirector economist professor teacher writer
Edward Van Dyke Robinson was an American professor of economy, special lecturer on economics and politics born in 1867 at Bloomington, Illinois, United States. He had taught physiography and commercial geography. Scientific journals were carrying articles from his pen which showed his skill in less utilitarian investigations, such as into the division of governmental power in ancient Greece.
Education
He graduated from the University of Michigan (A. B. , 1890, A. M. , 1891) and received his doctorate at Leipzig in 1895.
He was a student of wide interests geography, economic history, taxation, transportation, governmental administration, education. His inquiries in remote fields and periods were matched by others of immediate importance to Minnesota.
Career
Prior to study in Europe he had been superintendent of schools at Schoolcraft, Michigan, and on his return to America he reentered secondary school work, becoming principal of high schools in Muskegon, Michigan, Rock Island, Illinois, and in St. Paul. During this period he was at different times special lecturer on economics and politics at Augustana College at Rock Island, and acting professor at Albion College, Albion, Michigan He had taught physiography and commercial geography in the summer school of the University of Minnesota, and in 1907 was appointed professor of econimics in this institution. Two years later he revisited Europe, as delegate of his university to the Darwin Centennial Celebration, at Cambridge, England, and to the five hundredth anniversary celebration of the University of Leipzig. He was a student of wide interests geography, economic history, taxation, transportation, governmental administration, education. His inquiries in remote fields and periods were matched by others of immediate importance to Minnesota. He worked closely with the Minnesota Tax Commission, as director of its department of research and statistics, and for its report, 1912, prepared the studies of the cost of the state's government, and of railroad taxation in Minnesota. The University published his elaborate account of Early Economic Conditions and the Development of Agriculture in Minnesota (1915). Scientific journals were carrying articles from his pen which showed his skill in less utilitarian investigations, such as into the division of governmental power in ancient Greece. Robinson's high school teaching had yielded a textbook on commercial geography in 1910, which, many times reprinted, influenced the teaching of this subject. He was opposed to the rigidity which characterized the curriculum and system of promotion of pupils in the public schools and was among the earliest to advocate the junior high school as a means of reform. In 1915, following a year of study abroad, he was elected to a professorship in economics in Columbia University, his responsibility being chiefly for the undergraduate department. For this work he was fitted not only by his competent scholarship (particularly evident in his "War and Economics in History and in Theory, " in the Political Science Quarterly, December 1900), but by his knowledge of pedagogy and his pronounced turn for educational administration.
