驱魔逐疫的“虎舞”——跳於菟

古羌部族以虎为图腾,认为老虎可以驱除一切邪恶、疾病,给人们带来新一年的吉祥和平安,因此时至今日的土族仍要举行由人扮作老虎到村里各家进行驱邪、逐疫的活动。     

GROWTH AND TRENDS IN GÉOGRAPHY IN CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES

Summary. The development of academic géography in Canada was somewhat similar to that in the United States. At the turn of the century géography was probably stronger in the schools in most provinces than it was in most states, but in both countries it seemed to be mainly an uninspired collection of facts about particular places in the world. There was no leadership from Canadian universities to improve the quality of géography nor to change its content or philosophy. As in the United States, but on a smaller scale, géography was known in a few Canadian universities prior to World War I. Its real beginnings, however, were in the latter part of the 1930s.
