Extended Notes of an Address on the Geography of Manitoba by Hugh McKellar Pdf
Excerpt from Extended Notes of an Address on the Geography of Manitoba Although the Geography of Manitoba is well-known to many individuals, who have travelled over the Province, yet to the majority, of our own settlers, it is but little known. The following notes are arranged to direct the attention of teachers and pupils to the most practical subjects for study regarding our own Province. With a map of Manitoba, as published by the Department of Agriculture and Immigration, before the school, the first thing noticed by children will be the different blocks in different colors, and the large spaces tinted pink. The blocks are municipalities, the pink spaces are unsettled, unsurveyed, and in many places only partly explored districts. Explain what a municipality is, giving details of the one in which the pupils live, the names of the councillors and reeve. An interesting lesson or two can be given to advanced pupils touching on how the councillors are elected, and what their duties are, referring to taxes, roads, bridges, formation of school districts, etc. On a closer examination of the map, pupils will notice that the whole Province is divided into square blocks, and you are at once into our system of survey, each block is six miles square. If possible, let pupils find out how these blocks can be located, and where the enumeration commences. Find the Principal Meridian and show the ranges east and west from the same, as shown by figures at the bottom and top of the map. There are 17 ranges to the east and 29 to the west. Then explain the township enumeration. Tp. 1 is the first strip of blocks along the south; Tp. 2 is the second row of blocks across the map from east to west.
