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

 lar books as well as a hitherto unpublished one, — "The Country- 

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

 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This hitherto unpublished volume deals with the present move- 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 re-direction 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 (nw edition) 



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

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

 cally with the change in agricultural methods, in the shifting or 

 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 Tlie Trihune Farmi-r once 

 wrote, "If 'The Nature Study Idea' were in the hands of everv 

 person who favors nature study In the public schools, of ever\' one 

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

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

 purpose to interpret the new school movement to put the voun" 

 into relation and sympathy with nature, — a purpose which he has 

 admirably accomplished.
