Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar School Geography: Compiled by the State Textbook Committee and Approved by the State Board of Education The present is a period of marked increase in the attention and thought given to geography. This is shown in various ways. The demand for greater markets for manufactured goods and for cheaper raw materials has caused European nations to push actively the colonization of Africa. For the same reasons the leading nations of the world are contending for commercial supremacy on the Asiatic shores of the Pacific, and our own country is exploring and developing its new possessions. Renewed interest in all fields of geographical inquiry is indicated by the establishment of departments of geography in our great univer sities and by the increasing number of publications on related topics.
