“Goode’s School Atlas – Physical, Political,and Economic for American schools and

colleges”, by J. Paul Goode, Ph.D. (Professorof Geography, University of Chicago), printedin the USA by Rand McNally and Company in

1923.

Here we will view two maps that concernus as Macedonians. Namely, on pages 62-3, thereis a map of Europe showing the differentlanguages spoken and each language/group oflanguages is distinguished by a specific colour.The Slavic languages are in green colour and eachlanguage is differentiated by shades of green andstripes. The Macedonians language is representedby striped green colour, to differentiate it fromthe solid darker green for Serbo-Croatian and solidlighter green from Bulgarian. On the left side ofthe map a textual list of languages spoken inEurope is presented, where the Slavinic languagesare under number three and the followinglanguages are named: Great Russian, LittleRussian, White Russian, Polish, Serbo-Croatian,Slovenian, Czecho-Moravian, Slovakian,Bulgarian, Macedonian and Sorbian (Wendic).

Page 72 of the same Atlas, has a geographicmap of the “Eastern Balkans and the Aegean”.The northern part of Greece is designated asMacedonia, stretching south of the border withAlbania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. Although theGreek occupying authorities changed most of thetoponyms in Macedonia, by the time this Atlaswas printed in 1923, the town Yenije Vardar stillhas not been changed to Gianitsa, Vodena has notbeen changed to Edessa, Demirhissar has not beenchanged to Sidirocastro, whereas the riverBistritsa which here is named Vistritsa has notbeen changed to Aliacmon yet.
