A case is on record where a school visitor asked the children to point to the north, and the entire school pointed directly over their heads. With correct and careful teaching, such a blun- ZONES. 159 der would have been impossible. North means in the direction toward the north pole, and south means in the direction toward the south pole ; up means in the direction toward the zenith, or overhead, and down means in the direction toward the center of the earth, or underfoot. These latter definiti...ons are not arbitrary, of course, for up also means from a lower to a higher place, and down means the reverse. Thus, down from the top of a hill may be in every direction of the com- pass ; and, from the base of the hill, you may be able to go up in every direction of the compass ; but, from either top or bottom of the hill, there is but one north direction and but one south direction. We dwell upon this point because it is important that the distinction between the various terms should be impressed upon the minds of the children before they commence to study maps.
