TALES OF DISCOVERY ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE 



By MARGARET GRAHAM HOOD 



Fop Third and Fourth Grades 



The Tale of History could not be more charmingly told than it is in 

 this volume, which is intended for the lower grades. A Third or 

 Fourth Grade pupil will read it easily, and with interest. Its eight 

 chapters are devoted to the early history of our great Western 

 empire, and tell of characters and events, but little touched upon by 

 the general school history. The child here acquires a taste thaf 

 leads him to further research.

Fop the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grades 



A timely book for the young. We employed to write this volume, 

 a man whose thirty-year residence in the Orient made him 

 thoroughly familiar with the people and their customs. Its thirty- 

 eight chapters, all I ichly illustrated by the best artist we could secure, 

 will give the pupil an excellent idea of our new countr}' — 

 a knowledge which will prove of great financial value to him.
