THE RURAL OUTLOOK SET 



By Professor L. H. Bailey, Director of the New York State College 

 of Agriculture at Cornell University. 



Four Volumes. Each, cloth, ismo. Uniform binding, 

 attractively boxed. Each volume also sold separately. 



In this set are included three of Professor Bailey's most popular 

 books as well as a hitherto unpublished one, " The Country- 

 Life Movement." The long and persistent demand for a uniform 

 edition of these little classics is answered with the publication 

 of this attractive series. 



The Country-Life Movement 



This hitherto unpublished volume deals with the present move- 

 ment for the redirection of rural civilization, discussing the real 

 country-life problem as distinguished from the city problem, 

 known as the back-to-the-land movement. 



The Outlook tO Nature (New and revised edition) 



In this alive and bracing book, full of suggestion and encourage- 

 ment, Professor Bailey argues the importance of contact with 

 nature, a sympathetic attitude toward which " means greater 

 efficiency, hopefulness, and repose." 



The State and the Farmer (Ne w edition) 



It is the relation of the farmer to the government that Professor 

 Bailey here discusses in its varying aspects. He deals specifi- 

 cally with the change in agricultural methods, in the shifting 

 of the geographical centers of farming in the United States, and 

 in the growth of agricultural institutions. 



The Nature Study Idea (New edition) 



"It would be well," the critic of The Tribune Farmer once 

 wrote, "if 'The Nature Study Idea' were in the hands of every 

 person who favors nature study in the public schools, of every one 

 who is opposed to it, and, most important, of every one who 

 teaches it or thinks he does." It has been Professor Bailey's 

 purpose to interpret the new school movement to put the young 

 into relation and sympathy with nature, a purpose which he 

 has admirably accomplished.
