Abstract
Tebliğler Journal has been published continuously since January 1939 and has worked as a media organ where all the regulations carried out by the Ministry of National Education are found. The topics relating to geography that are published here are significant in terms of understanding geography inclinations and instruction. This study reviewed all issues of Tebliğler Journal that were published between 1939 and 1942, examined the sections relating to geography found in these issues, and aimed, when necessary, to categorize and group the topics and thus make an understandable order. In this period, topics relating to especially textbooks and syllabi were found heavily in Tebliğler Journal. However, space was allocated to many matters such as inaccurate information found in geography textbooks and geography books and syllabi to be studied in the types of schools to be opened. In this framework, it is seen that geography classes in all types of schools generally took place in one hour, and in some cases two hours, each week. Medium atlases were used for middle schools and large atlases for high schools in addition to the geography courses at the schools.

Summary
Education is a topic that interests everybody either personally or as a citizen. The development of the educational system positively affects development in society (Ünlü, 2014). Geography is a tool that allows individuals to discover their own societies and surroundings and that shows how people interact with it (Gerber andWilliams 2002). Syllabi and textbooks play an important role in geography instruction taking place in a planned manner (Roberts, 2002). These are the fundamental guides for teachers and students in the classroom. The period between 1915 and 1960 generally represented the early modern period in geography education (Stoltman, 2006). In this importance, a significant development and transformation was seen at the schools in geography education (Naish, 2003)
