A combination map. An interesting combination map may be
made by the four groups.
(1) Let some one in Group 1 make a large outline map of Mexico, Central
America, and the West Indies, showing in heavy lines the outlines of the
countries and of the four main islands.
2)
Let the members of Group 3, with the help of a commercial atlas, color
with crayons on the same map the areas which raise important amounts
of cotton, sisal, fruit. cocoa, coffee, sugar, and tobacco.
Pass the map to Group 2. Let the members of that group place a piece

corners, and on the tracing paper write in small-sized letters G. S. C, P,
and so forth, where the minerals are located.

Now pass the combination map to Group 4, which will put on a second
sheet of tracing paper above the first. On the second sheet will be shown
the railroad lines and the cities whose growth has been especially favored
by the products of the hinterlands for which they serve as centers of trans-
portation.
