A combination map. An interesting combination map may be 
made by the four groups.

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 
of tracing paper over it, fastening the paper only at the two left-hand 
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.
