In the beginning man discovered that there were two magnetic poles. Since one was in the northern latitudes and one was in the southern latitudes we decided to call the one in the northern parts the north pole and the one in the southern parts the south pole. Since oposite poles attract and a compass is a direction seeking device we marked the compass needle pointing towards the north with and "n". Of course it is really the south pole of the small needle magnet. Of course we could have called the magnetic pole in the northern parts south but why would we? Richard
