Two water flow maps of California
Steiner, Rodney
Maps showing volume of movement have became familiar geographic
tools in such cases as highway traffic and ocean trade. Indeed, their value
prompts inquiry into other kinds of movements which might usefully be
shown on flow maps. Water, logically enough, is one these, and it is a
matter of curiosity that water flow maps For water-conscious California
should be so few to date. In view of data available from public agencies, it
is suggested here that California's water resources might be portrayed for
our students and the general public in a more revealing way by greater use
of flow maps.

The Chilean dairy industry
Thompson, John
The origins of the Chilean industry and of attitudes toward dairying,
as well as the nature of the contemporary scene, have been studied with
the hope of suggesting why a product deficit has developed, and whether
or not the country has the capabilities to overcome the deficit. The study
of this representative industry, it was hoped, would afford the writer some
insight into the nature of agriculture in Chile and, perhaps, in other countries
of Latin America.

The role of geography in general education
Stanley, Raymond W.
There exists today an amazing educational paradox in our society, a
society dedicated to the proposition that the best interests of individuals
and of society alike are served most effectively through the general
education of all its members. There is, on the one hand, ever-increasing
need for more widespread and competent understanding about our world
and all its troubled parts of our own communities and regions. On the
other hand, there is a serious underemphasis, if not complete neglect, in
our schools of the one discipline which has been given the specific responsibility
for defining the concepts, formulating the principles, perfecting
the techniques, and propagating the knowledge on which such understandings
rest, the discipline of geography.

Geography of the Sierras Juarez and San Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico
Henderson, David A.
Published materials have been concerned less with these high, timbered
sierras of northern Baja California than with other parts of the peninsula
because aborigines did not penmmently occupv these areas nor were missions
established in the mountain forests. Moreover, in the twentieth
century economic development in northern Baja California has been concentrated on the Delta of the Colorado River and along the Pacific coast,
while the northern high sierras have remained little exploited. Nevertheless,
these mountains contain valuable natural resources which have in the
past attracted temporary settlement, are today being slightly utilized, and
in the future offer promise of increased exploitation.
