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. 18 (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.
