At colleges where teachers of geography are trained, the educational aspect of physical geography is not always fully appreciated. On pedagogical institutes the contents of geography should be such as to secure full comprehension of natural laws and their influences upon the development of the production capacities and conditions, which is very important for the work of the teachers as well as for the expert work in geography itself. Regionalism, object teaching and polytechnical education help much to introduce physical geography into practice. They also contribute to correct, methodical progress in education and a proper scientific conception as well as to the proper application of knowledge in the actual scientific work on a complex investigation of the terrain.
