Volume III. presents characteristic features of our own country, which comprises an area so vast as to still make our title, A round theW orld, a fitting one. This volume is intended for pupils of the fifth year in school, though it may be read with profit by an advanced grade IV., or in review by grade VI. We have kept in mind the fact that pupils in grade V. are scarcely ten years old, and are still children. Text-books written for this grade are usually a year ahead of the pupil. This is especially true of readers. A glance at Volume III. will show that it is the most profusely illustrated reading book of this grade ever published. The pictures are strictly up to date, are educational, and to a good degree represent faithfully the life, industries and varied natural features of our country. We have distinctly avoided any attempt to treat exhaustively any topic. It has been our purpose here, as in preceding volumes, to arouse interest through the illustrations and to suggest very much more than is told. Some questions are asked in the text that will lead pupils and teachers to draw upon outside sources of information. The publishers and authors are under great obligation to the publishers of several leading magazines for permission to reproduce illustrations, especially to the publishers of Munsey, McC lure, The Cosmopolitan, The New England Magazine, and The Outlook.
