This is the most complete set ever offered at so low a price; it is printed in handsome colors, on heavy, coated lithograph, double-faced, cloth-lined material, especially prepared for this purpose.

Among other unique features of great value are the following:

In place of names, numbers are printed on these maps; this makes it possible to do an infinite variety of work.

On the margin of the maps are indicated countries in similar latitude; this feature can be best appreciated when one considers the difficulty of making a child appreciate the comparative sizes of the different countries. For instance, as the maps on which North America, Asia, Australia appear are necessarily on different scales, the child cannot understand, indeed never does understand, that India, Australia, and the United States are of approximately the same size. In this series of maps, on North America for instance, the pupil sees at a glance that China and Chinese Tartary correspond almost exactly in latitude with the United States and Mexico. That the British Isles and Labrador correspond. That the southern part of Florida and Cuba are in the same latitude as the Desert of Sahara, and other points of the same kind are made clear to the student.

The set consists of the following:

In addition to these, a physical and astronomical chart—this for the purpose of teaching geography—is in itself worth the price of the set. It contains in picture the different geographical definitions: ocean, bay, river, town, city, mountain, volcano, cape, promontory, etc., etc., etc.

Animal life in different zones is shown in beautiful colored pictures; life in the ocean in different latitudes is also shown, and also plant life. The chart of the Solar System also appears on this same sheet.

Schools desiring to examine the set can obtain them for examination by remitting the amount. If the maps are returned, the charge will be $1.00 covering the expressage both ways; this $1.00, however, will not be lost to purchaser, but will be credited on other maps, charts, or globes that may be purchased.
