What Europe Does for a Living 283 
16. On an outline map of Europe insert all the European cities mentioned in 
Table 5 B (page 330).” In what region are the cities most numerous? 
Why ? 
Divide the cities into the following groups: 
Seaports on (a) the English Channel and the North Sea; (b) the Atlantic 
Ocean; (c) the Baltic Sea; (d) the Mediterranean Sea; (e) other bodies 
of water which you will name. 
River cities with good transportation by inland waterways. 
Inland cities without important transportation by water. 
Compare the various groups in number and size, and explain your results. 
Arrange the European cities of Table 5B according to size. Among the 
first twenty, place as many stars as necessary before the names of those 
located in areas that excel in the following respects: (a) food production ; 
'b) production of raw materials; (¢) production of minerals; (d) manu- 
facturing ; (e) foreign commerce; (f) transportation. 
Locate on the map of Europe a city that you think may be important as 
an exporter of each of the products mentioned in this chapter. Do the 
same for cities that may be importers. Consult the encyclopedia to see 
if you are right.

(B) A Stupy oF A EuropEAN COUNTRY 
Let each member of the class select a country of Europe upon which to 
report to the whole class. Follow this plan for preparing the report: 
(1) First study the conditions of the country as shown in the tables 
and maps of the preceding exercises. 
(2) Then look up the country in reference books. 
(3) Write a report telling on what occupations the people mainly 
depend for a living. Explain what kinds of business are most 
important. Tell what products are produced in sufficient 
quantities to provide important exports; what ones are im- 
ported, and why. Find out how imports and exports come 
into the country and go out.
