FENIKESE.

 famous Summer School. 



A 96-page book of much interest to 

 students of Nature. 



Read -w^bat otbers say: 



"Have found it extremely interesting read- 

 ing,"— Henry Prime, Garden City, L. I, 



"I enjoyed the book [Penikese] very much." 

 — W. W. Kinsley (Supt. of Schools) Grand 

 Ledge, Mich. 



"It is both instructive and entertaining and 

 deserves a place in the library of every student 

 of nature."— W. D. Lynn, Canfleld, O. 



"I have just finished reading 'Penikese' and 

 can say that I have enjoyed it exceedingly. 

 Anything looking toward keeping green the 

 memory of the great Agassiz should be of in- 

 terest to the teacher of biology and no period 

 of his life is more interesting than the years 

 spent in building up the laboratory on Peni- 

 kese."— W. P. Hay (Prof. Biology, HighSchool) 

 Washington, D. C. 



"I have read the book [Penikese] with great 

 interest and think it an admirable remini- 

 scence of one of the greatest naturalists of the 

 nineteenth century. The name of Agassiz is 

 assuredly treasured by all true lovers of na- 

 ture and his methods of study have left a strik- 

 ing impress on present-day workers."— (Rev.) 

 Robert Blight, Green Lane, Pa.
