THIS "information" series meets a distinct demand for 

 new geographies which are thoroughly up to date, and 

 adapted for general use, rather than for a particular use 

 in a highly specialized and organized ideal system. While 

 not too technical and scientific, it includes sufficient physio- 

 graphic information for the needs of most teachers. 

 ^ An adequate amount of material is included in each book 

 to meet the requirements of those grades for which it is designed. 

 This matter is presented so simply that the pupil can readily 

 understand it, and so logically that it can easily be taugh- by 

 the average teacher. 



^ The simplicity of the older methods of teaching this subject 

 is combined with just so much of the modern scientific methods 

 of presentation as is thoroughly adapted to elementary grades. 

 Only enough physiography is included to develop the funda- 

 mental relations of geography, and to animate and freshen the 

 study, without overloading it in this direction. 

 ^ The physical maps of the grand divisions are drawn to the 

 same scale, thus enabling the pupil to form correct concepts 

 of the relative size of countries. The political and more de- 

 tailed maps are not mere skeletons, giving only the names 

 which are required by the text, but are fiall enough to serve 

 all ordinary purposes for reference. In addition, they show 

 the principal railroads and canals, the head of navigation on 

 all important rivers, and the standard divisions of time. 

 *[[ The illustrations are new and fresh, reproduced mostly 

 from photographs collected from all parts of the world. 

 Formal map studies or questions accompany each map, direct- 

 ing attention to the most important features.
