In text-books, as in nature, the 

 doctrine of the "survival of the 

 fittest" prevails. In no other class 

 of text-books has there been more 

 change, more experiments, and withal 

 more improvement" than in School 

 Geographies. But while many Geog- 

 raphies have been offered and tried, 

 only a few have passed the crucial 

 test of actual use in schools for a 

 sufficient length of time to determine 

 the true measure of their useful- 

 ness. Of these the five named here- 

 with are recognized as the Standard 

 Series of Geographies by the teaching 

 profession and school authorities of 

 the whole country. Some of the 

 features which distinguish these 

 Geographies and make them so 

 popular and satisfactory are the following: 



1. A skillful combination of Physical, Political and 

 Commercial Geography; 



2. A well-balance'd treatment of topics and countries, 

 omitting all fads, fancies and foibles; 



3. Accurate, up-to-date Physical, Commercial, Political, 

 Relief and Local Maps; 



4. A practical system of map-drawing; 



5. Artistic and apposite illustrations; 



6. Valuable accessory features, as local State editions; 



7. Supplementary notes, useful reference. tables, etc.; 



8. Superior mechanical execution in typography, 

 printing, and binding.
