the disposal of the teachers and schools, 

 making it possible for these geographic 

 pictures to be published at an exceedingly 

 low figure. 



The Society" whole-heartedly devoted 

 its energies and talents to winning the 

 war, and with far-seeing patriotism also 

 plans ahead for the new America, striv- 

 ing to create still better standards of 

 teaching and to fill the demands which 

 these advanced standards require. 



Pictures in the schools will solve one 

 phase of the gigantic problem of the re- 

 organization of our education, because 

 they can give the pupil an adequate 



knowledge of our great country. That 

 knowledge is the sound basis of all pa- 

 triotism. 



The National Geographic Society, 

 through its Pictorial Geography* series, 

 is especially glad to present, as the largest 

 scientific organization in the world, its 

 wealth of geographic knowledge to the 

 vast army of American school children in 

 such a way as to help to make each child 

 a worthy citizen of our country and a 

 benefactor of his fellow-man.
