Abstract
The fare this issue is varied -- one article deals with some aspects of mobile homes; one with wildlife habitat; and, one with migration. And in the entire lot of them there is only one set of maps -- and those were done by a computer. I keep looking for maps in papers which are submitted. On occasion, there is one. Often there are photos or diagrams -- but not frequently enough. Do we really stress today our basic tools in Geography? Does anyone teach a course in how to photograph as well as how to analyze photos? The National continues to Geographic prosper. Their photographs and maps are going to appear; the reader knows to expect high quality; a happy association continues. All of this is not to denigrate our authors. Their articles are chosen for their worth. But, we all react according to our biases. Thus, I translate statements to teaching. I cannot imagine teaching Geography without maps, photos, diagrams, and the like. But then I think I have the upper hand. The proliferation of knowledge as expressed in various journals is overwhelming. To keep up, we are rapidly going back to the oral tradition.
